A few people (using broadband internet) have said that when they press the BLAM button on my website www.ublam.com , it takes a while for the pages to load.The speed seems fine on my computer when I load it. Is the fault on my side or theirs? If it's mine, any ideas how to speed it up.
I got it loading pretty fast, but you can add some compression to your htaccess for better loading time: <ifModule mod_php4.c> php_value zlib.output_compression 16386 </ifModule> Code (markup): Other than this, you can improve time reducing nestled tables or susbstituting them for a CSS design, being aware that such transition can be a pain in the arse, particularly with Firefox, which "ocassionally" has problems with almost anything.
i ran you site thru here > http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ and the results given were Download Times* Connection Rate Download Time 14.4K 82.53 seconds 28.8K 41.37 seconds 33.6K 35.48 seconds 56K 21.37 seconds ISDN 128K 6.68 seconds T1 1.44Mbps 0.76 seconds
I ran the BLAM buttons URL ( http://www.ublam.com/blam/ ) and here's what I got: The first time I ran it: 14.4K 540.99 seconds 28.8K 270.60 seconds 33.6K 231.97 seconds 56K 139.26 seconds ISDN 128K 42.79 seconds T1 1.44Mbps 3.90 seconds The second time: 14.4K 12.81 seconds 28.8K 6.50 seconds 33.6K 5.60 seconds 56K 3.44 seconds ISDN 128K 1.19 seconds T1 1.44Mbps 0.29 seconds And the third time: Connection Rate Download Time 14.4K 237.00 seconds 28.8K 118.80 seconds 33.6K 101.92 seconds 56K 61.39 seconds ISDN 128K 19.22 seconds T1 1.44Mbps 2.22 seconds Big differences between them. So I guess it's not my fault, it's dependent on what website comes up when the Blam button is pressed.
YEah depends on the site it loads .. first time I did it I got a myspace page that was PAINFULLY SLOW (had a lovely side scroll bar too) but the next time it was fast as a rocket... so it's no you, it's the sites that get loaded.
I would recommend reviewing your code and optimizing dodgy html and photos. Use gif format for images that have a few colors. If you have complex server script that slows down response time - Use some kind of server side caching engine to speed it up.
HI friend it is easy to load in 3 seconds but i have DSL. if problem in loading than minimize the resolution of images if you kept on pages
Right, someone already mentioned using compression. Another idea is to use a caching program on the web server to speed up replies to frequently visited pages. For example, you can use WP Super Cache if you are running Wordpress. Otherwise I'm sure there are similar ideas such as the following article for PHP caching. hxxp://articles.sitepoint.com/article/caching-php-performance Let us know what you decide to do, and if it actually works to improve the speed for your users. Thanks!
slow internet speed is a problem way back 2006 or earlier. today its now issues at all! I don't know anybody using dial up connection anymore.
Your graphics could be reduced in size a bit, something as simple as this would help with people who are still running dino-puters to access your site. Your banner image for example is almost 28K bytes. Not a big thing but since it's pulled up for every page accessed, it could make some difference for those users.
Get rid of the splash page -- do not use gratuitous scripting (use as little scripting as possible) -- use CSS markup for presentation instead of tables. James
