Site is loading a bit slow , any suggesstions ?

Hi ,
I noticed that my site is taking some more time loading since I changed some tables ( added and removed some ) , I want to know how can I prevent this slow loading time.
My site is : http://www.freegameslodge.com

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

Look down in your code near line 754 which is near the "more links" div and it appears you have closed a td tag twice. This can cause some rendering problems which might account for your slow down.

<div class="contentbox2">
            <div class="contentheader">More Links </div>
            <div class="boxestext">
              <center>
                <!-- PlayerClicks.com Code Start -->
                <IFRAME SRC="http://www.playerclicks.com/work.php?n=522&size=1&c=1" width=100 height=100 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 frameborder=0 scrolling="no"></IFRAME>
                <!-- PlayerClicks.com code end -->
                <br />
                <br />
                <!-- More Gamers Banner Code -->
                <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.MoreGamers.com/display.php?u=4304"></script>

                <!-- END FunKlicks.com CODE -->

Thanks for trying to help but is still the same.

Your total site size is 683192 bytes. That is a good size site.

check out this site http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ and let is check yours. I have the report from your site here if you do not want to go through the site yourself. the image is 1.5MB because it is the full report. Just to warn you

 

Thanks alot fo the report.

 

Yeah, 400k of images is too big - man, and I was worried about one of my clients being 200k...

Most of it is image optimization - you've got 70x59 .pngs that are roughly 10k apiece because they are saved as 32 bit color - Given their size you could probably get away with 32 color .png or less, resulting in images that are 1-2k in size.

It is WAY too many images though... as a 'rule' it's a good idea to stay below 25 files total, since each file means a handshake, meaning at least three times the clients ping-time to your server PER FILE, meaning even some cable broadband users are looking at almost a minute and a half for the page to load. (figuring that oh-so wonderful 300-450ms ping)

...AND you are overly script heavy. You've got 24k in scripts coming from 7 different servers, ALL of which mean opening new connects. I know you might like all those click-through ads, but they are the #2 reason your page takes a bit to load... Good rule of thumb is if you are trying to load more than three scripts from off your server, you are probably doing something wrong.

I'd axe the alexa and fastclick since that's going to get your site flagged right quick as malicious, I'd off the statcounter, and I'd restrict myself to just ONE ad service provider.

Either that or live with it being slow.

 

now if you really want the load times to speed up some i would suggest getting rid of the tables though this looks like oscommerce or some other type of open-source e-commerce platform so it could be a bit tricky but it'd definitely be worth it in my opinion.

 

thanks all ,

Heres everything you need to know

It could be that you are inporting a lot of files like CSS or your website is more images than HTML.
