    Hi,
    The site loads up quite slow actually. It's the middle section which I think is causing the problem because after the picture appears, the loading of the page stops.

    It still seems to be the flash that's taking a while to load, you might want to see if your can change the blank white square to black so it won't be so obivous that you're still waiting for something to load.

    But it does text loads within a second, I'm on 8 mg broadband connection.

    The /TEST url loaded in about 4 seconds while the later direct url to the site took about 15-20 seconds.

    Good Luck.

    That is so strange, all I did was activate the links to the other pages in the site...hmmm Thank you all again, since the change the submits have increased quite a bit, so load time must be a lot better.
    Page info from FF shows that the new version is 6.15kb while the old version was around 21kbs While I know that is not totally definitive, it does mean the page is lighter and should load much quicker!

    Thank you all so much for the tests and feedback!

    The page loads pretty quick for me, the flash part is still a tad slow though.
