    I'm a little concerned about the loading time on this site. Could you have a look and let me know if the loading time is unacceptable, fair or even good?

    And, of course, any other critique is more than welcome.

    Cheers!

    Yeah, I was thinking that too. I'm going to have to make that logo smaller.

    It started out fast, but then the background took a while. Maybe you should change or used a smaller file sized image.

    The logo is a compilation of about 13 images, I took half of them out and the background loads faster now. Background image is very low res. and is not the issue.

    Is anyone still on dialup? I wonder how long it takes to load on dialup?

    I don't have dial up, don't think many people do anymore (could you imagine!!!). Here are the speeds per websiteoptimization.com I mentioned above. However, they may be a bit slower than actual cause I don't think it takes 15 seconds on a T1.

    Download Times*
    Connection Rate Download Time
    14.4K - 815.41 seconds
    28.8K - 412.30 seconds
    33.6K - 354.72 seconds
    56K - 216.51 seconds
    ISDN 128K - 72.69 seconds
    T1 1.44Mbps - 14.71 seconds

    Hi tdigitty,

    Thats a great little website with many interesting statistics. It does seem a bit strict though, but I will be using it in the future.

    It's not bad, I'm sure there are others out there that are better. That was just the first one I came across.

    It loaded fast for me but the slide-show on homepage can slow it down.
