Hi, I changed the layout of my site a couple of days ago in hopes of improving convert %. I bougt a template and customized the graphics. However, the page is rather large (90k) compared my old page of just 45k. I think this is the main reason my visitors have gone down about 60%, since most 56k users just click out.

I've optimized the images and the html, but I found a funny thing when I did a check using websiteoptimizer. It said along with my index.html file, the site was also downloading an image version of the homepage index.html which was about the same size (24K). There's no such file on the server and I couldn't find it anywhere in the code. Obviously I don't want this to happen. I've looked through the code and couldn't find any scripts/reasons why this is happening. It's not websiteoptimizer as I've run it on an old page of the old layout and it doesn't download a mirror image. I really want this to stop as its in effect doubling all my page sizes from 24k to 48k. Can somebody look at my code and tell me whats wrong?

The url is whitekit.com btw

Hi,
I only had a couple of minutes but you have an awful lot of those in html

<span class="style1"><font size="2" face="arial, helvetica"><b><font color=cc0000>$</font></b></font></span>

although you use a stylesheet.
get rid of font cleans it up

Also there is a funny java script geov????

Hope it helps
