Site Load Time

Hi,

I think I need to optimize my site.
It loads painfully slow. I'm not sure whether it's just the HTMl/Images or my ISP also. I want to decrease bouncerate and increase conversions.

Can you please count how long the main page takes to fully load and let me know along with your connection type?

Also, Has anyone any help on the subject?
I'm thinking I'll need to optimize the images (I have already for the big ones), try to cut down on the amount of HTML etc.

I'm thinking changing from tables to DIVs may decrease the amount of HTML
Any tips?

It took about 50 second for it to load on my end. What did you use to build the site if you don't mind me asking.

It's OSCommerce with lots of contributions.
What connection speed are you on please?

 

It took me a total of 51 seconds. I'm running with cable and firefox. You should use external javascript and css and avoid using tables.

 

about 20 secs

 

I need to know peoples connection speeds or the load time means absolutely nothing!

hatching: thanks for the pointers, didn't realise that about the javascript

Thanks!
