My new site!

Hi,

The loadtime has not improved, to me it is now 20-30 sec!
The reason is all the images. Currently you have 4.5 Mb of images.
You can reduce their size.
The easy one is to convert the two bmp-files to jpg, here you will save the first Mb.
Also, try and play with the size of the images and the compression rate of the jpg-file.

Good work ..nice concept ..and good stories ..

 

load time is 11 sec

 

So if I do this, how much time will that cut off?

 

Depends on the internet connection of the visitors.

3MB or more is still too much.

Since your site is a WP installation, and I told you to do so, just install the LazyLoad plugin.
This will load images only when needed.

You need to combine/minify every CSS/JS file, too. Will save some bytes and requests.
Pagination is for sure not a bad idea, too.

E.g. just allow 20 or 25 boxes per page, not endless...

Thanks for saying the same that I did...

 

CSM, I thought we were doing business?

 

the site loads quickly for me. these people must not have very good computers!

 

It takes a while to load, maybee making the boxes smaller might help?

 

The loading time is currently being adjusted. Hopefully it speeds up to where I want it.

 

What did you build it with?

 

I am not finished yet with my work on the site

 

Nice Concept

Maybe you should look into adding a Category section!

#1. Categories For example:

Be my Valentine
Love Letters
Prom Date
Happy Birthday
Congradulation
etc

#2. written by; break downs:
male
female

and the implement a search and sort function!

good luck in your venture!


cheers,
m

 

I built it with wordpress.

 

Thanks a lot!
