Re: the slow down --it's prolly the images hosted in the comcast web space.

such a nice clean look for a thunderslut! ;P

I've moved all the images over from the comcast server. And the new design seems slower than ever.

Anyone with a little know-how willing to take a look at my code to see if you see any red flags. I warn you, though, it isn't pretty.

Thank god for the new design. I was tired of that purple.

As far as your site loading time goes, its not a problem with your code or image sizes. Its slow as shit even on my cable modem or school t1 connection. The problem is with the server(s?) that the files are pulling from.

Well 72k is probably more a bit large for that lamptrails.jpg. in fact, it looks like you're downsizing it to make it fit in the space you've allotted for it, so you could easily resize it and lose a bunch of weight.

32K for meheadernew.gif seems a bit large as well. It looks like you have some solid blocks of color there, so I'm not sure why it's as big as it is. It looks like you've reduced it to 32 colors. You might see if you can reduce it to just 2 or 4 colors and still get the effect you want (you may need to choose web safe colors to prevent horrible dithering or see if jpg compression gives you better file size with those colors).

I'm on a T1 at work, and your site froze for me right after loading your "it's my duty to grease that booty" header for several seconds. Everything else seems to come in at once after that. That's probably because everything under that header is in a single table. If I remember right, every element of the table has to download and render before it will display, so you're bringing in all of the graphics and all the text that is displayed below the scroll line. That includes about 200K of graphics currently which is kind of a lot.

Basically, try to optimize the graphics to get them below 50K total, and consider CSS instead of a Table or consider several tables so you can render the page in chunks instead of all at once.

Actually, you already have it in several tables. I didn't scroll down, and just assumed. It looks like it's freezing when trying to bring in the wanderlustcb.cgi I'm not sure what that is, but I think that's probably your slowdown.

The graphics are still supa-big though.

Thanks for all the advice. I think the wanderlust cgi was the problem. It is now removed. I've also resized the photos.

It seems to be loading much, much faster now.

Let me know if it's still dragging ass.

(Again, thanks!)

Needs more boobs.

Also : boobs.

it seems to be fixed :)

Me likeee.

I like the old!
