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.
Design Without Tables using CSS!
– easier said than done, as I have been discovering as I add more and more tables to my site!
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.

– Use CSS to control appearance rather than changing fonts and appearance on every page.
– 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)
Thank you guys, you are the greatest!
This is all very helpful!
