Could anybody check the speed of my site please?

My website seems to be loading up pretty slowly. I could do with a few
people checking it to see how quickly it displays for different people to
see if the problem lies with my ISP or the web hosting company.

the site is http://gallery.welovefragile.co.uk

And info or feedback regarding speed is much appeciated.

Thanks

Ben

 

It load quite slowly here with 1.5M adsl.

 

It loaded very slow for me,about 1 minute to display the page and all the
thumbnail images. I'm on a 4mbit connection.

Cheers guys ) I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Looks like it a problem with the webhost. Time to have a word.

Very, very slow on my 7Mbps cable, in western New York.

Try this: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
It even got tired of waiting.

 

Working well here. Passes 'validation' by the HTML validator at
<http://www.w3.org/> too )

London, ADSLMax clocking 3.84 Mbps at the moment.

Opera 9.01, Linux.

 

Loaded virtually instantaneously jusi now on a 300K DSL connecgtion in
southern California.

3.734s today. Congratulations.

 

Faster Fox says 7.76 secs with 10Mb/s broadband connection.

 

Yes, much better here as well since yesterday. The analyze page can even
cope today, stating:

Download Times*
Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 173.46 seconds
28.8K 86.93 seconds
33.6K 74.57 seconds
56K 44.90 seconds
ISDN 128K 14.03 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 1.58 seconds

Not too bad for a quarter-megabyte page.

Cheers Everybody )

I had a few words with the web hosting company. At first they claimed there
was nothing wrong but after a bit of persuading they found a problem and
sorted it )

Seems to be nice and quick again now...I'm a happy chappy!

Thanks again to everybody who took time to help me )

Contact your ISP for the fix.

 

No problem from here.

 

Fine for me here. Both Safari and Firefox loaded it in under 5s (4.348
according to FasterFox - a page loading timer extension - Safari was timed
with a stopwatch).

I have an 8Mbit DSL connection and am running OS X 10.4.7.

Just tested it on my Windows box and it's roughly a second slower (5.289). I
wonder if it's anything to do with the fact that both myself and the OP are
both located in the UK and it's something to do with the site being routed
abroad?

To the OP, cunning way to plug your site... ;o) <g>

Could someone else in the UK (Whiskers, Ponder, etc) test and see what
results they get, just to test my theory?

 

took about 4 seconds. (cable modem)

I was here on Monday <>,
probably at about the same time as the web host confessed the error of
their ways and put things right for the original poster
<m64Eg.3459$> )

 

6 seconds longer than the usual find another site.

Blueyonder max 10Mbps D/L speed.

At least you get the thumbnail thing, the images are small 108 x 150
Pixels typically. However try making then smaller, they don't need to be
16,7 Millions (24 BitsPerPixel) and using jpg.

Trying Irfan View and redouce color depth to 256, November 24
7.31 KB (7,486 Bytes)
to
6.38 KB (6,538 Bytes)
948 bytes smaller * 20 = 18960.

View Source in Ultraedit 100138 Bytes, there are lots of

<newline>
<multiple spaces><newline>

Trim trailing spaces, 95726 , 4413 bytes saved. Remove the
<newline><newline> 94801 (haven't checked resulting output) another 925
bytes.

It's nice while developing to indent with
" <input" , bnut that isn't needed for displaying, get rid of all
those extra spaces.


More so in places like, using <space> to format
things in the div.

<td>
<ul class="giInfo">
<li>

</li>

<li>

</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>


When it looks like

Make the page load faster, split into
Current Week , Last Week , This month sort of thing.

Not much point going to XHTML 1.0 then serving it out as text/html.
Although that a long discussion, see many of the web development forumns
/ blogs.

Saving page (Mozilla) as complte web page, the resulting files are 184K,
that's far too big.

I'm slow on the uptake - I've spent the last week camping in the wilds of
North Oxfordshire (damned fine real ale round that way, if you like that sort
of thing...). Fairport's Cropredy Convention, to be precise (if you like that
kinda thing...)
