shkad14 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I just built a oscommerce store. I have no idea what I am doing so the website is pretty much the only way I know to make it. I checked the speed of the page. I got several warnings. One was this: "Warning! The total number of images on this page is 40 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests. " What is a graphic roolover and a css rollover? Can you explaain a fix this solution in the easiest terms possible. Also, my page loads with 40 products on the main page, can I get that down to a couple?

jasonabc Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The Speed Report says this for most sites - certainly OSC ones. You're perfectly ok - you just need to ensure that your product images have been optimized for the web so your store loads quickly.

It says it takes my page 255secs to load on 56k. Is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to reduce the filesize of your images. I recommend Adobe Photoshop Elements. You can buy this from any decent computer store for around $90 USD. You can use Photoshop to crop and resize images and then use the Save For Web tool to optimize them so quality remains good but the filesize is small.
