What I'd like to do is host my images remotely, but only if the remote host is able to load my images in a short amount of time. Can javascript be used to start a timer when the page is first hit and if certain images are not loaded in 5 seconds, then use a different url (at a different server) for the images? If so, can anyone help me get started coding this? Any other ideas on how to better code this task?

Not really, there are no events triggered when an image finished loading by default and so theres no way to tell when the user has all the data
