    I would like to modify certain parts of the website for SEO purposes. The design is important but not the only thing.

    Website: carpet cleaning Vancouver

    Which part would you modify/enhance?

    This page takes too long to load. Your should invest in a nice header.

    Thanks.

    Why is it taking so long to load?
    Does this impact SEO do you think?

    Time loading is a factor that Google considers when caching websites. If it takes google a long time to load the page, it will take others too.

    Hope this helps.

    1) takes a while to load
    2) the header is a bit tacky imo
    3) does not validate

    Other than that I like it. I would really suggest that you work on a better header

    I'm thinking the page should have fewer images and videos . Visitors tend to move on or close window if they have to wait too long for a page to load. Besides that I has a nice feel to it in terms of Asthetics

    the layout is good but you might want to tweak the color scheme a little bit. also I think the videos might be causing the loading problem.

    Too many pics and not very appealing ones. I love the idea of videos of your cleaning though. That's cool.

    You need to work on off line part. Pictures don't have any title, title of the site is too long, put your main keyword in the content and get links from relevant sites or post. its done

    The problem with the images is that you're scaling them via HTML. The images should be sized down with a graphic editor (such as photoshop) to the exact size they are needed in the design 200x150 pixels. The ones you're loading in are huge! For example, go straight here: http://www.604cleaner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/carpet-cleaning-01.jpg

    You'll see that the image is VERY large, which is the reason it takes so long to load. So in summary, size the images down to the correct size before placing them in the layout.

    Best,
    Brian

    I think your page is loading as there are many images another point i would like to add is that home page is lengthy.

    Thanks. I've sized down the images to match the exact sizes on the screen. So it should improve a bit.

    Also the css has been minified.
