page loading

Not being a total techie, one basic ways I am aware of is to make sure you have the height and width specified for each image. That way the space can be allocated and the rest of the page can be loaded. Otherwise you have to wait for the image to load before it can move on to the next part.

Like I said, basic, and not even sure if it is still valid.

Split the page in two or more tables if you don’t use CSS. Then the page will be rendered in the browser one table at a time.

A link would help though…

My two cents…

– Cut out unnecessary HTML such as comments, font changes, and table elements that are not needed. (Even though a one line comment may not seem like much, consider the effects of the same comment distributed throughout all your users and on all your webpages.)

– Define the dimensions of every image you use; this way the browser can continue displaying content even if the image hasn’t loaded yet

– Reduce image file sizes

– Remove any excess white space, tabs and carriage returns that you don’t need.

– Minimize Your Headers. Often an HTML editor will add a default tag known as the Generator tag such as

– Minimize DHTML Usage. Some DHTML effects weigh in at 40-60k in accompanying Javascript code.

– Consider external linking to your scripts (ie Javascipt and css)
