Hi All,

I've recently "Face lifted" my Homepage, you know, new Modules, blocks, pics, etc.
I've like to know, how long does it take to load,
I've been told that my site is " fat and heavy", too much from everything, now i would like to
know your loading time and your Modem speed ??

I'd really appreciate it, if you could visit my site and let me know, the time taken
from when you click on the link to when the site if fully loaded.

Thanks a lot.

It loads alright for me.. might want to be sure your blocks are using the cache (admin, blocks) Especially those that look at external resources like your weather, etc,.

Thank you for your answer and time..
Its a good point you just made, in fact i have no cache on any of my blocks its off on all of them, i'll take care of that.
Thanks

Re: Loading time

Use the caching wherever possible - just be aware that if a block or module page is dependant on the viewer (such as the main menu or news module where edit/delete links are only available to admins) you should not cache it as it can mess things up a bit.

Recommended for a page is 65Kb, but it's also depend on the images from news, forums etc.

Is you theme images are too huge? You site is fine now, load normal.

Hi.

Well, I've "thin out" a couple of pics and took some others out,
and now i've got this result, which i think should be allright.

Connection rate and Download time

14.4K ---> 67.77 seconds
28.8K ---> 33.89 seconds
33.6K ---> 29.05 seconds
56K ---> 17.43 seconds
ISDN 128K ---> 5.34 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps ---> 0.46 seconds

Thanks for your help anyway..

So your site is around 60 - 75 KB...
