I just checked my site in IE & it is loading slow for me. Sometimes it loads, shows done (only background is loaded), then three or more seconds later it finishes loading. And at other times it takes a shorter time to load. It changes back & forth at times. It loads fast in firefox. http://www.teenfreearcade.com Is this happening for you? (be sure to refresh a couple of times to see the differences) What is causing it? ( I made a thread about this yesterday & thought I fixed it but I just checked again this morning and it was doing it again )
Oh, okay thanks. Normally, I won't have a problem with it loading slow, but it shows DONE and only the background is loaded and nothing else, people might leave the site since it shows done and nothing's loaded. That's what I was worried about.
You might wanna try out the Firebug extension of FireFox. This will show you at least in FireFox what part of your websites takes so long to load. It can be that all threads are consumed, and this cloggs up your website. http://www.getfirebug.com/ In that case, it can just mean a simple reshuffle of your HTML to make your website load faster... BTW: this is the feature in FireBug that you'd use to track down the problem: http://www.getfirebug.com/net.html Good luck! PS.: sorry, live links aren't available to me yet...
Thanks, but the site loads fine in firefox, it actually loads fast, but in IE, it loads slow. And it was never like this before, just when I checked it a few days ago. But I'll try that out anyways.
Just thinking aload: you have quite a lot embedded Javascript in your webpage. I particularly see the Google Analytics code. Depending on how IExplorer handles that Javascript, it can take some time to interpret it all and load it into memory. Therefore, i suggest using <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> This way, you prevent the use of the embedded javascript, and your website can continue rendering, without having to wait for the interpretation to end... Just my 5 cent
Btw: if i use Firebug to delete the code behind that Javascript call for Google Analytics, i get a blue background with 2 columns. Was that what you saw?
mate same with me looks exactly same on both the servers not to worry and just keep up the good work mate
Yes that's what I see, the blue blackground. The original code is like what you suggested. Nothing to change there.
Strange... At my site, the <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> is not filled in with all this code... I do remember however that Google told me to add this code to the end of the HTML page before the </body>. Maybe that's because then, this javascript is loaded last and doesn't influence your website's rendering. So maybe try and move that code to the end of the page? HTH
Harmony like we discussed in our ticket, its probably your media click ads , and localized problem, cause for me also it loads quick both IE and FF , on a 100mbit server i doubt you can get anything faster than that .
I tried removing all the valueclick media ads, it didn't do much. And the problem is it shows DONE when only a blue background is loaded, then maybe a few seconds or even sometimes a while later, everything loads. Maybe it's just me, but I tried it on another computer & same thing happened.
