I hope this is the right spot to post this. I went to this site to check my load speeds: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html Now I'm trying to figure out what the section below means. I don't know what objects are and how I get rid of them. Only thing I can think of is maybe it's my blogger widgets but I am not sure. Anyone know? The figure II-3 link that it references shows as a 404 not found. TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 40 which by their number will dominate web page delay. Consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Above 20 objects per page the overhead from dealing with the actual objects (description time and wait time) accounts for more than 80% of whole page latency. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in Website Optimization Secrets for more details on how object overhead dominates web page latency. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests. Consider using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images. Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing instead of graphic techniques can reduce HTTP requests. Replace graphic text headers with CSS text headers to further reduce HTTP requests. Finally, consider optimizing parallel downloads by using different hostnames or a CDN to reduce object overhead.
How should I go about cutting it down? I'm a total newbie with coding but if you point me in a direction to learn about which things to look for I can figure it out. Thanks
