    I'm building a mashup site. I'm using three include files and google maps to generate dynamic content.

    I'm happy with the way it looks however it takes a long time to load. I tried running a diagnostic report on it and it told me to decrease the images (I'm using the flickr api).

    Is there any way that I can optimize my code or do anything to increase load times on the page? I'll probably do some sort of caching later on down the line but I want see what I can do now.

    Are you doing a lot of server-side processing before rendering the includes?

    Also, how fast is your host?

    If your page is displaying Google's applet this might me the reason. Reduce its size for better performance.

    @Dr. XYZ - Your advice seemed to work the best. When I reduced the map size I got a better performance. It still takes a little bit of time to load up.

    Thanks for your help.
