How can I speed up the load time?

My website is completed and I am happy with everything.
Everything except the time it takes to load. All the images have
been optimized. What can I do to speed up the load time?

Typically, your budget is around 50k for the first page,
total including
all external files. When you add up all the external files
you have used,
like images, Flash, external JavaScript, etc., you have 98
separate HTTP
requests in that page. Just looking at the headers, you have
about 80k in
requests and responses, not even counting the actual files.
Browsers are limited to just a few simultaneous streams, so
most of your
files wind up having to wait until the prior files download.
Included among your 98 requests, you have these six files
that each
individually exceed that total budget:
headerLinked.swf 2,621,578 bytes
2007_fishing_video_web.flv 95,989,898 bytes
2008_aoy_graphic.png 65,582 bytes
jensen_beach.png 59,105 bytes
liquid_fire_logo_new.png 142,277 bytes
DanSchaad.png 379,111 bytes
Your entire total is 99,816,652 bytes. I've put a complete
breakdown here:
http://testing.apptools.com/newsgroup/liquidfire.php
Files are requested from the server in the order they are
encountered in
the source code. They are displayed in the linked page in the
order in
which they are requested. You can see that some of the huge
files are
requested fairly early in the sequence. That means that those
files and
their extended download times are occupying streams and
preventing other
files from being downloaded more quickly.
My suggestion would be to really trim down the content on the
page. Break
it up into several pages. Dump the huge Flash movie at the
top of the
page. Optimize the four .png's above.

  • How can I speed up the loading of text in a text gallery?

    I have a tekst gallery with 60 rows. The cells have on average 70 characters (< so about upto this point). When scrolling though the gallery, it sometimes takes several seconds before the tekst appears on screen (is loaded?). Is it because of the number
    of characters, or the number of rows? Is there a way to speed this up?

    Wouter,
    I created a small app to mimic your scenario. I have 100 rows of text data in Excel--each row is 200 characters long. I have the data bound to a gallery with the following controls:
    4 labels that display the text data
    A slider whose default value is set to Len(ThisItem!Text) -- simply trying to increase dependencies and computation
    A label that displays the length of the text
    Using touch/swipe, I am seeing immediate refresh--absolutely no lag. Even when I grab the scrollbar and force it all the way to the end, I am seeing sub-second response. I am unable to repro the slowdown you described.
    It would be great if you can share your app file so I can investigate further. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • How can I speed up the extract() function queries on XML

    Hi,
    Please I need some light on xml and indexes.
    This is my case:
    I use Oracle 9i R2.
    I have a table with some rows containing some few xml documents (each row contains a big xml document).
    Given a value for an attribute of a tag, I want to extract the entire section within the tags.
    Example:
    <MYTAG number="1">
    .....big stuff here
    </MYTAG>
    <MYTAG number="2">
    .....big stuff here
    </MYTAG>
    <MYTAG number="x">
    .....big stuff here
    </MYTAG>
    So for number=2 I would like to extract from the document the xmltype
    <MYTAG number="2">
    .....big stuff here
    </MYTAG>
    I created an index and have followed all the steps from the XML Database Developers Kit manual. Then I would use extrac() as the document says.
    Now some doubts arised:
    Are these text/xml indexes only useful for getting the rowid of my document?
    I mean, if I select 'x' from the table looking for some value, then the index is used. But when I use extract in the select to get the section I look for, the query gets really low, specially when xml documents are big. I think when I have only row with one document, getting the rowid is not the problem, but the extraction from the document is.
    Is the extraction process faster because of the index?
    For what I see, the index only helps me to find the rowid, but then Oracle has to deal with the very big document inside the row. At that point Its oracle against a big text processing and index has nothing to do.
    How can I speed up the extraction of the section?
    If there any other index or tool for help extraction to be faster?
    I would appreciate to know what can I do. I need help on this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well,
    - What indexes, if any, already exist?
    - What do the functions rl and nice do?
    - What are the current query plans?
    - How restrictive are the various predicates?
    - What version of Oracle?

    Depending on which soundcard you have there, but if your card is capable for
    ASIO -> activate I/O drivers on Sonar/Options/Audio/Drivers -tab (mic/line sources should be listed there --> activate) and select the mic or/and Line sources on tracks "I" - dialog
    WDM/KS -> use the Surround Mixer or windows recording controls for recording source selection (mic should be listed there)
    MME32 - > same w/ WDM/KS
    If you use Asio4All --> same w/ WDM/KS & MME32
    No mic and line source simultaenously w/ WDM/KS and MME32.
    You perhaps be able to do this w/ kX drivers.
    jutapa
    ADDED:
    You can also install modded version of Audigy 2 drivers/software but I have never done this w/ Li've! 5. so I can't be sure if you get ASIO support for your card.
    Here are the instruction --> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php

  • HT5953 How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    Hi, I had the same problem you described, and I noticed that there are two ways of activating text to speech on iBook for Mac, with different speed results (at least on my MacBook Pro Retina display)
    On your iBook you can select the text and and then click on > More> Start speaking,  and you will get a certain speed, which tends to be too slow.
    But you will get the speed you had selected with "Go to System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech. In there is a slider to adjust the speaking rate." if you use the TOP MENU (next to the black apple)  under Edit>Speech>Start Speaking. I also learned that under System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech, there is an option for a shortcut which is very helpful. And you can change Key. Hope this was helpful.

    It takes hours (2-3 or more) to download updates to various software.  I use my iPhone in personal hotspot mode paired to my laptop to do this.  How can i speed up the downloads?

    It's a function of your iPhone's data speed, which is a function of your physical location and your carrier.  Talk to your carrier about increasing your data speed (probalby unlikely) or get dedicated internet to connect your computer to, i.e. cable, fiber, etc.

    Nothing you can do. Presently the Apple servers are overloaded because of iOS 6.

  • How can I speed up the time it takes to deliver mail to lists I build in Workgroup Manager?

    My research group uses Workplace Manger to create mailing lists that we use to email each other. The lists work correctly, but take a long time - when an email is sent from any computer to the mailing address we create (like [email protected]), it takes anywhere from 10 minutes to hours for that email to actually be sent to the people on the list. We currently have about 20 people on the list. The server is a group computer with permanent internet access. Are there any settings I could change or update to make this delivery faster?

  • How can I "profile" folio articles load time and memory use?

    Hi folks,
    I am beating my head against the wall since last week:
    How can I figure out a problematic article (one or more), that causes both Content Viewer and custom viewer (.IPA) to crash on load?
    The crash report states that "application took too long to start", in some cases it is "jettisoned".
    The whole layout has 150+ arcicles, each about 30 pages long in average, with the total size of 705 Mb. We have about 30...40 3D images there, lots of navto links, embedded video/ audio clips - I think we used every MSO type available for iOS viewer.
    All articles are of PDF type.
    No custom JavaScript code, no HTML tweaking - just a transition from relatively complex inDesign layout.
    At some point, while filling the folio with content, the Content Viewer started crashing on load.
    We rolled back and startred re-assembling the whole package, checking once 30...60 more articles were added.
    Our DTP guy was backing up intermediate results while adding articles, so I have several .IPA of the same layout, one with less than 30 articles, and several subsequent versions (60, 90 articles, etc). The smallest one works great even on 1st iPad - a bit slow (about 5 seconds to render a page when jumping between articles), but no crashes, no jerky pages, zooming and flipping is perfect.
    All bigger versions (30+ articles) crash on both iPad1 and iPad3.
    Adobe states there is no limitation in the number of articles and pages per article, but it seems to be a limit which we don't know. Or there is something in our design that causes crashes.
    WHAT TO DO???
    The idea to start from stratch again, making a backup before adding each article, uploading and testing is not good. It will take weeks, we don't have that much time.
    Can there be a "profiling tool" for DPS, similar to what programmers use when the code is unacceptably slow?
    Some switches to run the installed custom viewer app from command line, with verbose logging, debugging, whatever???
    Is there any way to know, what exactly on our side causes the problems?
    Need help ASAP.
    Regards
    Serge

    Mike, I basically have to do the same. The idea to use DPS for something else than glossy magazine or corporate catalog, is my brainchild, and losing hopes feels like euthanazing a pet, to say the least.
    With the only exception: I don't see DPS as an inferior product. Rather, it is a raw product, brought to the light before it is really ready, in order (as it is often, if not always, happens in hi-tech industry) to corner the territory before competitors catch up.
    As you could see in other threads, there are no books or training courses available yet, and I believe Adobe team is not quite sure what can and cannot be done with DPS. A part of the minefield is Apple iOS, that enforces certain limitations to ensure system stability. And I am sure, there is a lot of other factors in play that we are not aware of, and probably never will be.
    The point of saying what's been said is: there is a price to be paid for being on the bleeding edge of technology. This price, other than spending money for expensive equpment, other than investing time into learning and experimenting, is taking the risk of failure. The risk that it will not work out due to reasons beyond your control. So I don't think Adobe is much to blame here, they are playing the same game. Accept the rules or leave...
    Just my 5 cents...

  • How can I speed up the Welcome Screen on Illustrator CC 2014?

    I have updated to Illustrator CC 2014.
    I find that the welcome screen takes a long time to load. It is far from convenient.
    Is there anything I can do to speed up the welcome screen?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    System info:
    OS: Windows 7
    CPU: Xeon 3.2GHZ
    RAM:16GB
    System : 64bit

    Hi ImmerTech,
    You can disable the welcome screen permanently by following below steps if you are on mac machine other wise scroll down to bottom
    and check the option  "Don't Show Welcome Screen Again".
    Go to Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app
    When you get to "Adobe Illustrator.app" you have to hold down the Control key
    The Control key reveals, among other options, "Show Package Contents" Select that, and then the "Contents>MacOS>CEP>extensions" folder and removed "com.illustrator..welcome" folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I find out the overall time and not only the time of a single clip?

    I have set up two cameras in one room. Both cameras record the same thing from different perspectives at the same time. I have found an interesting scene for video 1 (recorded by camera 1). Now I would like to find the time at which the interesting scene takes place in video 2.
    However, I have not seen any way to get displayed, at what time the scene starts in relation to the total length of the video (e.g: scene starts after 5 minutes from total 10 minutes).
    The indicated time refers only to a part of the clip and not to the overall project, even if a special clip is not selected. Does anyone know, how I can find out the time?

  • How can i work out the GMT time wherever i am ?

    Hi, i'm going crazy with the date/time classes, just can't seem to work it out.
    I need to know the current time as a GMT time.
    I need to know wherever the program is running, i myself am in Amsterdam GMT+02:00 , my server is located in Canada GMT-04:00 (?)
    I parse dates from websites all over the world so i get times in the form of strings of which i know the timezone. I need to store everything in a mysql database and i want the database to contain GMT times only.
    I've worked out how to get a string from its timezone into GMT but,
    how can i get the current time as GMT ?
    somehow i keep getting timeshifts i cannot explain.
    this is where i got to:
    TimeZone tz_gmt;
    tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
    SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
    sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
    Timestamp tsGmtnow;
    tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
    Which is fine if i run it in Amsterdam, it gives me the current date/time in GMT, but on the server in Canada it gives me GMT+4 hours. What am i missing ?

    found a workaround,
         TimeZone tz_gmt;
         tz_gmt = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
         TimeZone tz_can;
         tz_can = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT-04:00");
         TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
         String Stz = tz.getID();
         SimpleDateFormat sdformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
         Timestamp tsGmtnow;
    if ( "Europe/Berlin".compareTo(Stz) == 0) {
         // i'm in Europe, go from local time to GMT
         sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_gmt);
         tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
    } else {
         // i'm in Canada, local time IS gmt
         sdformat.setTimeZone(tz_can);
         tsGmtnow = Timestamp.valueOf(sdformat.format(new Date()));
    out.println(tsGmtnow.toString());
    the default timezone returns either:
    Europe/Canada
    GMT-04:00
    somehow the GMT-04:00 get ignored by the formatter
