Hi All,

I've been working at reducing the total number of HTTP requests when loading my site, and I've been able to reduce it from about 40 down to about 20 depending whether the browser is using cache or not. It's made a very noticable difference locally, but I'd like to know what it's done for global access performance.

I've started a poll on my site regarding site loading times, and I would really appreciate people just loading my site and voting for the time range in my poll for the amount of time it took for you to load my site. Only have 5 votes so far, but to date it looks like anything outside Australia gets a big performance hit . Thank you so much to all for helping.

Cool, thanks HughG !

I can't remember who told me now, but IBM have a cool little utility that is very usful for disecting the loading of sites. I found it very useful for identifying what my bottlenecks were, and what http requests I could get rid of or consolidate.

Only 1 user beyond 15 seconds so far. This is looking promising. I'll just have to wait and see what others get.
