Slow loading product


Guest

Recommended Posts

Posted

I have just a few products that seem very slow to load..and was hoping someone here might have insite as to why this is.

 

Here is the page:

http://thefertilityshop.com/catalog/produc...?products_id=49

 

I have products that have more queries than this one...so I am not sure why the problem might be.

 

Here is one other..not quite as slow..but yet annoyingly slow to someone who might be on 56K or less:

Thank you in advance.

# This site is not using HTTP compression, otherwise called content encoding using gzip. Consider compressing your textual content (XHTML, JavaScript, etc.) with mod_gzip or similar products.

 

* CSS alternate stylesheets may be referenced in the HTML but are not actually downloaded until they are needed and are therefore not included in the total page size.

 

Analysis and Recommendations

TOTAL_OBJECTS - The total number of objects on this page is 16 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.

TOTAL_IMAGES - The total number of images on this page is 12 , 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 - 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_MULTIM - The total number of external multimedia files on this page is 1 .

TOTAL_SIZE - The total size of this page is 119185 bytes, which will load in 23.95 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. 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.

TOTAL_SCRIPT - The total number of external script files on this page is 1 . External scripts are less reliably cached than CSS files so consider combining scripts into one, or even embedding them into high-traffic pages.

HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 39284 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 or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.

IMAGES_SIZE - Caution. The total size of all your images is 24656 bytes, which exceeds 15K. Consider optimizing and creatively cropping your images, and combining them where appropriate. Even better, replace graphic text and form controls with styled text to eliminate unnecessary HTTP requests. Ideally each image should be less than 1160 bytes, to easily fit into one TCP-IP packet.

SCRIPT_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your scripts is 23963 bytes, which is over 4K. Consider optimizing your scripts for size, combining them, and using compression where appropsiate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents.

CSS_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 8490 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your CSS for size by eliminating whitespace, using shorthand notation, and combining multiple CSS files where appropriate.

Okay..read that and played with it. Enabling gzip totally timed out the website that tested the speed. Nixed that. Tried removing the flash file and did get marginal gains on speed, however when viewing how the product page loads...whether the flash file is there or not...the header still loads quickly. It's the balance of the page that is still a sleeper. I've included the speed info on the product after removing the flash file. (I have since added the flash back in)

Okay..I've really played around with this problem. I'd say about 95% of my products load up nicely...but this one is really awful and costing me business. I've tried removing some boxes, text..etc to reduce the queries and yet there is no change in the speed for this item.

 

I'd really appreciate any insite at all to what might be going on with this product:

 

http://thefertilityshop.com/catalog/produc...?products_id=49

 

 

 

I'm totally at a loss.

Thanks!
