♥monte22 Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hey guys I need a few people to tell me how my site loads on a 56k. I ran a stat checker and it said it was a little big, but that is mostly the product pics that load last which I will be optimizing soon. Please just tell me if it loads fast enough so you could stick around and buy something. Thanks http://www.gofastperformance.com/catalog/default.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I tested it with an old 32k I had laying around... It does load slow, but the header is quick and immediately grabs attention... eagerly await what comes next...oh!... the girls are good 8) It will be better when you do as you say.... I have seen far worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi, love the look of the site, i clocked it on a 56k at 0 to 60 (blank page to something loaded) in 22 seconds and 60 to 100 (something loaded to full page load) in 64 seconds!

♥monte22 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Thanks guys. I'm glad something loads relatively quick. Just need to get those product files trimmed down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥monte22 Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Thanks Bear, I had already done one of those, but for some reason it wasn't taking into account the graphic files. As you can see it says 0 for total graphic size. Thanks for the effort though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumble Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi Pierre, what site/program did you use to get this info from? I'm interested so i can test other sites for myself. Thanks!

Rumble Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 thanks guys! I guess it works well for html pages and not so good php? As i manually timed DubZ28's site and it loaded up considerably longer than these sites suggest? Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her!

Actual download times will be slower, your mileage may vary. Analysis and Recommendations TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! Danger Will Robinson! The total number of objects on this page is 45- consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize.

The total number of images on this page is 24, 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. TOTAL_CSS - Congratulations, the total number of external CSS files on this page is 1. Because external CSS files must be in the HEAD of your HTML document, they must load first before any BODY content displays. Although they are cached, CSS files slow down the initial display of your page. TOTAL_SIZE - Warning! Bloat alert. The total size of this page is 198479 bytes. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider contacting us about our optimization services. HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 28371 bytes, which is above 20K but below 100K. With a 10K ad and a logo this means that your page will load in over 8.6 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page to display useful content within the first two seconds. Consider using HTTP compression (otherwise known as "content encoding") to reduce the size of your HTML. IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! Danger Will Robinson! The total size of your images is 164107 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.

tswalling Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 FYI, here is a piece of software I came across which would let you test the entire site as a dial up user. If anyone uses or has used it, let me know how it is. I haven't had a chance to test it thoroughly yet. http://www.xat.com/wo/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 First- Awsome site! Second- The submitplus site did not work well with my site. I have had several people try my site with dial-up and they say its fine, but submitplus shows it as deathly slow. I even loaded a blank page and it took 150 seconds on a 28.8, really?!? I have a feeling it does not like some of the OSC code. It counted boxes as images. Third- The websiteoptimization site appears to work well, or at least is more accurate. Hope this helps anyone else with odd results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equilla Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi All, this thread got me thinking and I ran some tests on some of our osC sites and got some fairly surprising results. Given that you can resize an image using php server-side, I had always thought that the tep_image function did this, but on closer inspection I see that it does not and simply generates the height/width values to place within the <img> tag. (someone correct me if I'm wrong....). This means that although thumbnails are being shown on the front page, a relatively large image file is being requested, which slows everything down massively. No doubt there is a trade-off between server CPU loading and bandwidth considerations, but does anyone know if resizing images on the server in this way has been tried?
