is it just me or is the loading time of PR a lil too long??? ( I have 56k)

and whenever I load, I see this background that's covered up by images... why not delete that background... since that 10x10 pixel wide image has to repeat itself lik 10000 times to cover the whole page and 5hit.... I've been wondering if there are more useless stuff like that on the HTML or XTML???

cause the loading time of this page seems longer then other pages.... or is it just me (need opnions of DIAL UP users)??

just kinda weird... maybe you could structurize the page... or delete some useless coding.... cause sometimes it feels like it takes FOREVER to load


also... another thing I noticed is that when I load PR.. it say done... with a blank grey screen, (with the xoidio ad), then you wait for a while, then it starts loading the REAL stuff


anyone else has problems like this???

If you're using IE, try Opera instead - I'm on 56k dialup too & the difference in load times between the two was a revelation.

oo, Thanks Johnny E.... always been a great help

I'll try it

The page is loads pretty slow at home and at work. I have broadband connection on both ends.

It may be a little slow loading because we have 150+ logged into this website all the time

It's fine for me on dialup most of the time, of course I'm used to it, but still, it's manageable.

yes it may cover the page up a 1000 times, but still it loads only ones...if it loads once, it will not load again....that image is 49kb so its really not hat much to load...

the site slows down becuase the site is powered by a nuke type sytem+vb forums...which are not very fast to begin with due to alot of code and a very generic type code to give overhead for other functions/blocks of the system

once the new pr2 will roll around, everything will change. due to a custom made CMS (content management system) designed and developed specifically for pcapex.com by me.

what is different about this system is that all article pages, will be static meanting every time pages load it will not have to query the database to get info....making server load less and execution of scripts faster

and because there is much less code to process, pages should load right up.

edit:

btw with the new PR version, you opera users will really miss out on some features, due to Opera not supporing DHTML

edit numba 2

o look at that new version of opera DOES support DHTML

when i go on at night its slow, 100+ people. in the morning, 30+ people its fast. im on cable.

Clown, what about Mozilla Firebird? I've been thinking about changing to that.

I am finding the site to be pleasantly fast this particular evening.

I thought Opera was adding dhtml support into the newer releases. If mozilla firebird works, Ill use that too. I do not want to run a pos software like IE

i just tried viewing site in mozilla, and it looks like it works great in mozilla

and i just found out from GK, that he installed opera and it worked just fine in it too

so i guess new version of opera does support DHTML.....so all you mozilla/opera people should have all the features and stuff IE people would have

Sweet clown. I cant wait to view your work

putwig I have noticed the same thing here also. A rather significantly quicker loading time.

Yes me too especially tonight i seems to be rather quick. I have noticed though the time it takes to load a page on dialup is really bad. I will go get a drink pop some popcorn and then maybe the forum page will be up, granted it is during the evening so it is at peak load, so anyways i am going to try firebird.
