Calling all dial-up DZ.commers

Recommended Posts

I have DSL, and it took me about 5 seconds to load the page... this is a bad thing, particularly since the internet is still about 2/3 dial-up users. I have a few comments.

the 100KB animated gif is not a real good idea, particularly for the front page of the site.

Another issue you're going to face when using a program like microsoft publisher, is that you are going to get big html too, that page is ~95KB of code, all to do what could probably be done in about 5KB of code (an average page on this forum is on the order of 30KB)

I'd say no page should really be above 100KB (text + images) and the front page of the site should be even more stingy, maybe more like 60KB.

The site looks good, but you'd do yourself good to try and ween your way off of publisher sooner rather than later.

Clocked it at 35 sec to 'cups', -
54 sec to pic/up-lft-crnr.

As one with perhaps, third grade computer skills,
(and a dial-up delivering 49.2 kbps as I squeak this out), my tendency is to right click the little box
(the one with the geometric figures) before it loads...
(wouldn't have known it would self-load if I hadn't been timing it)
Impressive, I was very impressed with Ryan's comments & site as well. (Q. If you used MS pub.- what did he use?)
