Winston - A Word About Your Website
Posted: August 26th, 2010, 9:25 am
My connection was very slow this week and I was browsing it yesterday and it occurred to me that you have a large number of ads with photos. A lot. It was taking a looong time to load.
So I looked at the figures for your homepage.
Your website's homepage is 2 MB in size for someone to view!!!
That is 10X larger than it should be. I honestly do not know of any website single page that is so large with so many images and photos and photo ads. The same issue pops up when you post a dozen hi-res photos to a thread like here.
Most sites are 55k to 300k.
Not everyone has a 100 MB broadband connection and some of your potential customers might not have the patience to let it load.
