This thing gets in my nerve. Can anyone please tell me whats going on with my site? its justinbieberzone.com Im using wp theme. Im not web designer, but i know lil bit about it. Is png file better than jpeg file? in term of the loading speed? im using this tool to check whats wrong with my site http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ its like everything is a mess. I did google search, but some says.. png is better than jpg and vice versa. I dont think its my hosting server. they re fine. I have a feeling theres something wrong with the coding. One thing i notice when I open other website, the first thing i see is the "website name" in the browser tab, then website start loading. But my site... it takes a while for the "website name and title" to appear.. and then boommm... everything comes out. What tool wud you recommend to fix the problem? thanks
Hey. PNG is good for mutli-level transparency, in other words a GIF file has 1 level of transparency, and you might get "white dots" on the edges of transparent items with a GIF. PNG fixes that yet has much larger file sizes. JPG's can be large but you want to reduce them about 50%. In my experience, wordpress is a fairly slow loading application for the majority of sites. It doesn't have to do with the CSS, but more so the WP Engine, and the Graphics on the page -- As you know WP Pages/Posts can get fairly long with the accumulation of several posts listed with images. It also has to do with your webserver, make sure you are using a good one, many of the cheaper ones aren't as fast -- you also have video content from NBC on the main page, I think their player loads a LOT slower than youtube's. Cheers, Jesse.
Ping your domain name (wikihow.com/Ping-an-IP-Address) and then ping other domains to compare the response times. If your website's response time is significantly bigger than other domains, consider changing a hosting provider.
Hello Google Provides a FireFox Plugin to test load time of any webpage. you must have google webmaster account created for this site. Google will show if your site is slow. Their are also a lot of website's which provides web site load time checker online You can search for it in google Thanks
Can you please tell me which browser are you using? I checked it in Firefox 3.6.3 and it was working fine but there were some Java Script issues in IE 8. Where as being a designer I recommend using JPGs and only go for PNGs if you are looking for transparent background images.
Hi, I'm using only 1mb network speed,so far your site really fast loading,doesn't slow at all. I checked it in Firefox and also ie.
As well as the Google Firefox plugin there is also YSlow. These tell you how to speed up your web page load times using compression, reducing HTTP requests, combining external JS and CSS, using sprites, configuring ETags and so on...
Im using addon Firebug. The thing is.. OK, Firebug knows what cause my site slow, let say.. whos.amung.us traffic counter! But then Should I remove my traffic counter? NOOO.. I believe thats not the only way! I know million sites that have this traffic counterr but load faster.
I'd say your FIRST problem is your hosting - it took over 30 seconds before it even started sending the markup here. WSO's analysis are usually not too bad... but really you've got a lot of unneccessary **** in there. Like that 'counter' - just use your damned server logs, surely your host has given you access to something like webalizer and analog? You've got 22 javascript files totaling 237k - if that server is choked on CPU just the effort of compressing that many files could be dragging you into performance hell. Your scripts ALONE are twice the upper limit I would allow for an entire PAGE (HTML+CSS+IMAGES+SCRIPTING)... and your HTML all by itself is what I usually consider the comfort zone for the entire page without images. 46k of HTML to deliver 6k of plaintext and four non-presentational images is a sure sign something is screwy... Screwy things like 114 validation errors meaning it's not HTML, it's Gibberish - things like HTML3 in your XHTML doctype, things like declaring the same named meta twice, things like IE conditionals for CSS which is NEVER necessary, things like a keywords meta so stuffed to the gills it's GUARANTEED to be ignored by search engines (pick 8 WORDS and bring it in under 160 bytes), Things like the description meta being redundant to the TITLE, things like javascripted popup asshattery, four or five times as many DIV as neccessary, things like vague and meaningless class names (though some of that is just turdpress dicking with you), paragraphs around non-paragraph elements, invalid heading orders, lack of proper heading tags , abuse of classed DIV's for what should be headings, unordered lists around unrelated content, image maps, line breaks doing padding's job, and no list around obvious list elements... Shall I go on? Even so, the load is taking WAY longer than the obvious bloat would account for - and being it seems to be the initial handshake that's taking forever I'd say MOST of your problem would be with your host.
unless your images are huge then its more than likely going to be the host. Also, it loaded fine for me.
