Home Page loads slowly because of too many show/hide images.

I was asked to create a home page that displayed the correct product image in the background as you mouse over the menu item in the product portfolio navigation.  I built the page using quite a few show/hide behaviors displaying the correct image.  Now I have a HUGE home page that loads very slowly. Is there a better way to accomplish the same affect or do I need to scrap this idea and keep the images on the individual pages?
You can see this page here:  http://www.keystonewalls.com
(mouseover the PRODUCT PORTFOLIO button and scroll down the menu to see the affect)
The client loves the fact that you don't have to leave the home page to get a good idea of what each product looks like but they aren't happy with how long it takes to load.
Help!

Yup.  You've got some trimming to do.

On a T1 connection (1.41 MB/sec) your home page takes 18.50 seconds to load.  For dial-ups it's a very painful 395 seconds. 
Page size:  1,943,483 bytes.   Should be closer to 200 KB.
HTTP server requests: 41.  This should be around 10.

  • HT1212 My iPad is disabled because of too many password incorrect answers. I tryed connecting to iTunes but it still said Enter Password On iPad, and it said only Try Again, Cancel and Find an answer to this problem, or something simular to that. What do

    My ipad is disabled because of too many itemps and I tryed connecting to iTunes but it said nothing on the Apple Support page said it would. What do I do???

    The answer is in the article. Finish reading the second part:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • Web pages load slowly using Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

    Web pages are loading slowly now on my mid-2008 iMac 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. 
    Doesn't seem to matter if I use Safari v5.1.10, Firefox v29.0.1, or Chrome v34.0.1847.131. 
    Problem started about a week ago mostly with YouTube but now I have issues with almost all web pages loading slowly, including this one.

    Try resetting both your Intenet MODEM/Router by unplugging them, waiting 15 to 20 seconds then plugging them back in.

  • After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message: "DAVE Networking  Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error 71 - Too many levels of remote in path."

    After Loading Lion I now get 5 windows w/ a graphic of a Red Stop sign with an ! mark and the following text message:
    "DAVE Networking 
    Dave kernel extensions could not be loaded! Error
    71 - Too many levels of remote in path."
    I have uninstalled DAVE and used Clean App to remove trace elements of program, however I still get the message and am unable to eliminate the error messages.  When I click OK the message goes away briefly and then comes back up.
    Any solutions would be great.

    Dave,
    Thanks....What I did was load the free eval version of Dave 9.0 and then used the uninstaller which must have deleted the kernel giving me the problem. 
    Thanks for the response.

  • How do I solve problem that safari cannot open because of too many redirects?

    How do I fix problem that safari can't open because of too many redirects?

    Try clearing the browser cache and delete any cookies for that site. If that doesn't resolve it, then that's a problem with the web-site itself, so unless it is your own website, you can't fix it.
    Often it's a bug in the website code that detects what device/browser you are using and it gets stuck in a re-direct loop. You could contact the website developers and inform them.

  • Home page loading takes longer in a JSF

    My application takes a little longer to load its home page when a user try to access the site. This delay in getting the home page loaded for the
    first time happens to each user accessing the site. So we thought it would be the session scoped managed beans that we use in our application causing
    the issue. But we checked the session scoped bean, which are not doing any particular job to slow down the process. Then we placed a phaselistener and
    got the following printed in console. Doesent it shows that the request for home page goes twice through the JSF life cycle? Is it this that slows down
    the home page access for the first time. If so why should it go through the life cycle twice?

                       Hi,
    I migrated from windows LMS3.2.1 to soft appliance 4.2.2. i also set the gs.properties attribute to false. but, still the home page loads very slow. let me know if somebody experienced this and fond a resolution.
    thanks,

    You're not the only one with this problem. There is a long discussion, with some proposed solutions, in this thread (and searching for "slow" in the Pages forum will bring up other threads as well).

  • Too many concurrent AP image downloads, AP will not Join

    peeps,
    wonder if any of you have seen this before, trying to join an 1142 on a WLC_SRE version 7.4.
    the AP can ping the controller and vice versa.  In the controllers GUI: Monitor>Statisticc>AP join, I can find the mac of the AP that I am trying to get joined.
    the details of this mac show:
    Last error occurred:      Lwapp discovery request rejected
    last occurred error reason: Too many concurrent AP image downloads
    Last Join Timestamp:
    any idea where I can increase the threshold for this?
    I have probably tried once too often.
    Thanks

  • Too Many Concurrent AP Image Downloads

    I have a new 5508 controller running 7.0.235.3 code in a lab setting, so currently there are no APs associated to it.  I am trying to get a 3502 AP to join this controller.  I configured the AP with the controller IP address and put it on the same subnet as the controller.  The AP will boot, then gets to the point where is is trying to translate capwap-cisco-controller.domain.  It seems to time out, then go through the whole process again.  I checked the AP join statistics on the controller and it sees the AP try to join, but fails with the 'Too Many Concurrent AP Image Downloads' message.  Since this is the only AP attempting to make a connection, I know this message is errant.
    Any issues anyone is aware of or possibly a setting I overlooked?           

    So this error can be a little misleading.  Is the license or eval license activated and in use to allow APs to join?  If your number of supported APs is 0 often times I see this error.  You can verify this by going into the Monitor section in the Web GUI and it will tell you how many Access Points are supported above the controller picture

  • IWeb Pages Load Slowly in Browser

    Even since the 1.0 version of iWeb, I noticed that the content rich themes resulted in very slow page loads. So, I decided to choose the most minimalist theme possible -- Modern. Even with the latest version, I still notice that the pages created load quite slowly. Here's a simple page with just a few elements on it:
    http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/
    The various layers load at different times, so rather than text appearing on a page, the text appears without a page and then the image layer of the paper shows up later -- kind of ruining the effect of text on a paper.
    Previously, the blog directory (main page) would load at an average speed. Now it seems even slower. There are some kind of white borders being placed around the images and this takes a while to apply. I didn't notice these prior to the 2.0 version of iWeb.
    So, in general, the density of coding on the pages and inefficient design of the pages, seems to cause them to load slowly. This is a similar problem to what I've heard about with people using Microsoft Word to create HTML pages. The code ends up being very complicated and takes a long time for the browser to interpret. So, many people use programs like Dreamweaver to create the cleanest and simplest code possible for their pages allowing them to load quickly.
    Another example of an unnecessarily slow page is my blog archive. It's just text. When it generates, it almost seems like the server is creating the page using a MySQL engine or something like that. One would think that the archive page might be generated into clean HTML at the time of publishing. I looked at the source code, and it isn't pre-generated using basic HTML. It's calling up Java Script routines to generate the page:
    http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Archive.html
    Any thoughts on this topic?

    How weird, but cool! It's too bad iWeb isn't as smart as you are. Since the site generates much of the coding on the fly at the time of publishing to the web, you would think it could think of a smarter way (like the one you've presented) to generate the page image. For example, the text I typed in on the little notepad begins as me typing text. It ultimately ends up as a graphic image created by iWeb when publishing. So, why not just make the entire page a relatively compact JPG image?
    Your suggestion would work great if I wasn't planning on changing the content of my main opening page.
    I noticed if I used the fun handwriting font along with others in the same text box, that the entire text box became hundreds (like 300) different images representing the separate text and links on the page -- super inefficient. So, I ended up using the fun handwriting font in a separate text box that gets converted to an image and then another text box of Arial font text:
    http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/topics.html
    So, that works on those pages. But I wanted the main page to look nice. Oh, also, some of the elements on the page are links. The movie tickets link to a certain page, for example. So, I'd need to create hotspots in the jpg image to accommodate for that.
    In any event, I'm still going back to mark this question as solved because I think for most people's situations it would be with the suggestion you made -- use iWeb to design the graphics of a page, and then save it as a JPG.
    I suppose I could also use Pages or Keynote to do the same. Once an entire web page is a JPG image, it doesn't matter how it was created.

  • Pages loading slowly

    I've had issues off and on with my Mac and the internet. I recently installed a new router(Monday) and all seamed great for the first day or so. On Wed I was having internet access problems AGAIN, ugh! I re-set the router and cable modem and it worked OK for a few hours and then Wed night it wouldn't connect to the internet again. The Mac was telling me I was connected to the network but Safari would not load internet pages. So I disconnected the router and went straight from the Modem to the Mac. Now it works, but its very slow. When I click the Safari icon, it takes 5-10 seconds to load my home page and typically 5-10 seconds to go from site to site. This sort of activity used to only take like a second, moving from page to page was almost instant. I'm trying to figure out if this is my cable modem or my Mac or my router or what? I've tried to re-set the modem a couple times and Safari is still acting this way.
    So, how do I diagnose this problem? Is there somewhere I can look in the Mac system to let me know if connections are all working and what strength signals its receiving and all that?
    When I go into "system preferences" and look at network it says "ethernet connected" and shows an IP. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can look for.
    I know "PC's" need to be "defragmented" and "cleaned" from time to time, do Macs have a similar function that needs to be done to maximize its operating ability?
    Any ideas would be great.
    Thanks!

    Previous suggestion did not help.
    I have tried to run "verify permissions" and "repair permissions", doesn't seam to help. I have re0set Safari several times to get rid of "cookies" and "cache". I tried calling Comcast to see if there were internet issues and by all their checks I have a great signal.
    Still having issues with pages loading slow and big problems when I try to use a wireless router.
    Comcast tech mentioned since my system is about 6-7 yrs old and only has 2GB "memory" or "SDRAM" it may be slow because my system and all my "programs" or "applications" may be using too much RAM now causing the internet pages to load slow. Does this even seam logical or possible?
    The only new things I have done since I installed the router on Monday were I connected my new Wii to the router and I upgraded FCE. I have since disconnected the Wii (thinking maybe that was slowing it down). So the only big program I have even added in the last couple weeks since my problems have been getting really bad is FCE. Could this really be slowing it down this much? Plus I didn't notice a slow down until Thursday and FCE had been on the computer for a week?!
    Do I need to just take the computer to the Apple store and have them go through it? Would that help? Is it worth it?
    I have no idea why all of a sudden I get slow internet and have all these problems when trying to connect through a wireless router?
    Any thoughts?

  • I'm still using Snow Leopard because heard too many horror stories about upgrading to Lion. But I can't upgrade Safari unless I upgrade OS. Is Mavericks any better than Lion?

    I'm still using Snow Leopard OS because I heard too many horror stories about people upgrading their OS to Lion.  But I can't upgrade Safari anymore unless I upgrade the OS. I get messages constantly telling me I need to upgrade my web browser, and have increasing problems correctly viewing pages (like L.A. TImes, NY TImes) because Safari needs upgrading.
    I can't really tell what the advantages are to upgrade to OS Mavericks or OS Yosemite because it seems most are intended for mobile apps, and I only use my desktop.
    My last upgrade to SNow Leopard wiped out 2/3 of my iPhoto collection. No idea why and no fix. Macs used to be the epitome of compatibility for upgrades — not anymore.
    What are my options? What issues would I encounter if I upgrade OS to Mavericks or to Yosemite? WHat are likely problems, advantages and disadvantages?
    Thanks for any help sent my way.

    If you do want to upgrade.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.

  • Web pages load slowly or not at all.

    At least half the web pages I try to access load slowly or not at all, especially those I am accessing for the first time. This problem has been getting worse over the past few months. I ran the Wireless Diagnostics test, and it said there didn't seem to be a problem.     I am using a Belkin G Wireless Router, and only use the MacBook Air at home.  The PHY Mode is 802.11g.  What should I do?

    Try going to Speedtest.net (if you can ) and see what your speeds are. If they seem fine then try turing off or resetting your router. If that doesn't work it might be something with the Wi-Fi antena within the MacBook Air. Try connecting it via Ethernet.
