Iceland site - load times ok?

Here is a site from our trip to Iceland. Are the image and movie load times ok?

Of course, any design suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thanks.
TomBud, I know the corners look bad on a few shots. Believe me, I was kicking myself when I looked at the video for not being more careful. I tried putting in a matte in the corners, like little triangle pieces, but I think it detracted from the video more than the blemishes.

Issue with site load time when exported as HTML. Addressed?

Has the issue with website load time been addressed?
I believe the site attempts to load the entire image content at the initial visit - meaning any galleries with numerous pictures are all included when first getting to the site. This is causing a HUGE increase in load time. I was told when I last brought it up that it was an apparent issue that needed to be addressed.
Any type of resolution coming?

Major updates of Muse are targeted to release roughly every quarter. The 1.0 release was in mid-May. The 2.0 release was in mid-August. A fundamental change to image loading would only appear as part of a major update due to the engineering and testing efforts required.
As provided in your previous thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4659347#4659347 the only workaround until then is to reduce the number of images in the slideshow.

Issues with site load time. (bg images)

Hey, guys.
Having an issue with a site uploaded with MUSE. None of the images are overly large, but the load time is 5 to 6 seconds where it should be instant.
Looking at it, it appears as though all of the images are attempting to load simotaneously in one large chunk rather than in a line. Is there anyway to remedy this?

This isn't related to background images. It's how Muse is handling the loading of the ~100 images in the slideshow. Thanks for pointing this out. Until we have altered the loading method for these images, the only workaround I have is to decrease the number of images in the slideshow.

Reducing a SWF file size / creating "instance names" for website loading time improvement

Im hoping someone clever can help...
What i have done so far:
1) Created a flipbook using indesign CS5.5 that contains approx 25
images (embedded PNG's), these need to be good quality as this is a
portfolio - I'd also like to keep the 'page curl' effect. This makes the SWF generated cira 25MB.
2) created a Flash website "wrapper" to hold the above flipbook and add
features such as "bookmarks", links to other sites and forward/backward
page navigation buttions.
The issue we have is that because the flipbook SWF is 25MB the site
load time is slow.
What can be done to speed this up without compromising the image
quality?
1) Is there a way to make the indesign SWF smaller?
2) is there a way in indesign to properly give each page an
"instance name" so that they can be controlled from flash and therefore
I can load each pages image as and when needed.
any other ideas?
(If you'd like to visit the website to view the loading issue http://www.lizblackdesigns.co.uk)
Thanks

these need to be good quality as this is a portfolio
The approach to your portfolio website seems very outdated and will not help you in the near future. Flash is being used less and less with the increase in Mobile Devices being used to access the internet - a large chunk of which include Apple's iDevices which don't support Flash. This alone is a reason not to do it, however there are a few other big issues with the method you have chosen.
There is no "content" on your website for any search engine to find. No text. No meta data. No image alt tags. No titles. Nothing. In other words, your website will not be found by the people you are trying to attract. I would imagine for a portfolio site, you may want to re-think this approach.
The way the Flash file was created is the worst possible way to add Flash to the web as you have only embedded image files - and this is your entire site?! You could have included some text, which would have been viewable by search engines, and used color shapes to increase quality but lower filesize.
The filesize meant it took me over 1 minute to get off your home page. The average internet user will leave your site if you do not keep them interested after 5 seconds. In other words, you should have content of interest viewable within 5 seconds of load time.
If you are set on keeping the Flash setup for your website, re-build using as much text, color shapes and lines as you can (vector work in other words) and do not rasterize/export as image. This will drastically reduce load time and increase quality. You will also want to divide your file into sections and create more than 1 HTML page so that the browser only loads a bit at a time. You might also want to set a maximum size container for the Flash file as on my browser, it looks extremely pixelated and is very large, but unclear.
I would suggest looking into HTML5 if you are keen to create a website that can be viewed by around 98% of the web surfing people and it will also mean you can use an image slider (or similar) to show good quality images of your work. This will aid your site in being found by search engines but will also allow you to update sections of the site without re-publishing the entire Flash file.

Slow load times on AU sites?

is anyone still experiencing slow load times on AU sites, apparently this is resolved but I just emptied my cache and checked load times on half dozen sites. Still very slow!

I just loaded http://www.prettypollution.com.au/ and it took 17sec.
Got similar time for http://www.designexperts.com.au/ as well. So, although not very fast it's much better than what you’re seeing. Could be something in the node you’re being routed through.

I keep getting message "mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times it just gets in a loop and never down loads. Then when I try to click on it again screen goes opaque and i get the same message.

I 'm getting message "Mozila Firefox not responding." It takes minutes to down load a site - some times just gets in a loop and never down loads. The little circle at top just keeps going round in circles .
Then when I try to click on the screen again the screen goes opaque and I get the same message re " Mozilla Firefox not responding" - and it is minutes before I can get back in to close down screen.
I have downloaded Fire fox version 4 and this is still happening.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_websites

Since update, various sites load very slowly and some do not load until "Reload Current Page" is clicked several times.

Since Firefox update (6.0.2) many sites load very slowly and some do not load at all (green circle rotates infinitely) until "Reload Current Page" is clicked on 2 to 12 times.
Returned to version 5. No more slow load.
Automatically re-updated me to 6.0.2 and now slow again.
Returned to FF 5 again and turned off automatic update.
Downloaded 7.0.1 and the problem seems to be solved.

Same here, only that updating to 7.0 or 7.0.1 doesn't seem to solve this issue. Seems to have something to do with loading images (e.g: adobe.com stops loading when "wwwimages.adobe.com" is being loaded. imdb.com, on the other hand, seems to load images very slowly and not all of them).
Safe-mode. disabling add-ons, clearing cache and cookies and checking for malware doesn't help.

Reducing Load Times / Design Architecture

I'm designing a flash site with a Dynamic Gallery (loading images from a XML file). what can I do to reduce load time at the beginning, or limit loading times to individual images?
I've seen designs which loads another SWF file on top of the current one. Is this feasible?
Any details would be greatly appreciated.

If loading the images is the goal of the file, then the quickest way to do that is to concentrate on the images. Any way you load them, they have to be loaded. Be sure they are optimized for the web. If the gallery intent would allow for it, have the images loaded on request, using thumbnails or other button-like interfaces. Or maybe load different sections at a time. Or load so many at first, then load the rest in the background so that there's something to look at while the rest load.
I don't know what purpose you have in mind for loading another swf into the file, so I can't offer any ideas there.

Doesn't load a certain website I have. My site loads on all other computers, and in different browsers on my Mac???

I'm building a store and for some reason FireFox for Mac seems to not want to load it all the time. Sometimes it just stops loading the site even though the server is up and it loads in all other browsers. It only happens on my computer and it's really frikken annoying. It's coming to the point where I will have to switch browsers if I cannot find a fix. It's impossible to work on a site when FireFox refuses to load it at times, but I have NO idea why!!
Chrome for Mac loads the site INSTANTLY, but I like to use FireFox because of the helpful add-ons it has.
I'm not posting the URL here because it is an adult store and I'm not sure if that is allowed.
I just think it's weird that FireFox ONLY does it on this site, and ONLY does it on my computer. It's been doing it for weeks now, since I started the site. The other weird thing is that when I Quit FF completely and restart it, my site loads fine. I can be working on it for hours and then BOOM, FF decides to be a royal P.I.T.A.
Is there any way to troubleshoot this issue?
Thank you.

Can this html code be changed to speed up the image load time?

I found some html that creates a auto running slide show. I've got three images (small image sizes) but it is slow to start up when the page is first opened. http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/test.html this is the escaped code:
<center><img id='imageholder' src='' ></img></center>
<script type='text/javascript'>
images = new Array();
images.push('http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Docs/typewriterprpage.jpg');
images.push('http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Docs/royalprpage.jpg');
images.push('http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Docs/Lovetest.jpg');
var image_index = 0;
function rotateImage() {
if (image_index == images.length - 1) { image_index = 0 } else { image_index++ }
document.getElementById('imageholder').src = images[image_index];
setInterval('rotateImage()', 5000);
</script>
I have a page: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/Resume.html
that has a rollover image (from OldToad) that has two images about the same file size and located in the same folder on my iDisk as the other slide show images but it seems to load instantly.
this is the escaped code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</script>
<a href="http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/Site/royal.html" onmouseover="image1.src=loadImage1.src;" onmouseout="image1.src=staticImage1.src;">
<img name="image1" src="http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Docs/royalprpage.jpg" border=0></a>
Does anyone know if it's possible to improve the html of the slideshow snippet to speed up the initial load time?
Thanks, David

Ethmoid:
There are seven different pages: http://web.me.com/phelpssculpture/Site/movieroyal_davidphelps.html
Each link is directed to a different page.
I created the basic layout on one page and then duplicated the page six times.
the links are in one text box ( that's why they're lined up well ) and each individual word is activated as a link. I changed the background color of the forward tab to match the color of the main shape and used the send forward or send backward command to get the tabs to look right on each page.
The only problem with the words being in a single text box is that explorer doesn't render the spacing correctly and they fall off their respective tabs. When I get time I will put each word in it's own text box ( it's not that hard to align them ) so it will render properly in explorer.
Sincerely, David Phelps

Adobe Edge Animate JavaScript Coding issues/page load time speeds

To let you have an idea of my skill set I have a background in animation and design and have been taking classes in web development. My question is about how to create an interactive website that loads various animation depending on the user's choice and current place within the Adobe Edge Animate timeline. The website I developed for a client @ www.goshowpro.com works but loads slower than I want and doesn't format properly on my client's Macbook (I believe he needs to update his browsers but that is something else.)
So as you can see from looking at my website I used a multitude of HTML files to create my vision of an interactive website based off of a theatrical stage. I know this is not an ideal method. I would prefer to have it all on one page but I am having trouble with my javascript coding. I was wondering if there would be away to expedite my current site's load time and if not if you could look at my NEW coding. (This IS NOT the current coding on the site.)
if = "hstop" "chomstop" "shomstop" "phomstop"
{sym.play("hporstart")};
else = "hconstop" "sconstop" "pconstop"
{sym.play("cporstart")};
else = "hserstop" "cserstop" "pserstop"
{sym.play("sporstart")};
It looks crappy but I'm trying to learn so don't laugh too much. Thanks again.
Michael

Hi, Marlene-
We currently bundle jQuery 1.7.1 with the Animate runtime. In order to call fadeOut() on the element newSquare, you would do the following:
sym.$("newSquare").fadeOut();
OR
sym.getSymbol("newSquare").getSymbolElement().fadeOut();
Hope that helps!

Slow loading time of cdn assets from mobile

our requests to cdn got very slow in our mobile version (about 5-15 sec for picture)
in our "regular" site the cdn is working ok. (the devices located in the same place in the same network)
any idea?

Is the loading time in mobile device specific to this image? Just trying to understand if there is a lag attributed to device or mobile browser performance. I've not experienced any lag for CDN content in the mobile in the same WiFi my laptop was
connected to.

Dealing with a lot of images....Thinking about load time

I am designing a web site that has roughly 30 unique images per page. Each page has a photo gallery which swaps images in the main content area. Also, there are some other miscellaneous graphics that are reused on each page.
1) Should I create an images folder for each page or is there downside to having 200+ images in one folder?
2) Is there a way to see the size of a page (in mega bytes) and get a feel for the load time?
Thanks!
Gary

If it were me, I would create a new folder for each of the pages that have your 30+ unique images - that way they are all organised by page,I find that if you ever need to change them they are filed in a logical way and easier to maintain.
I would then have another folder containing all the images that will be used on all pages. Like header, logo, background images etc.,

Optimization on Load Time (Large Images and Sounds)

Hi,
I have an all flash website that works by having each portion of it to load and unload in the center of a frame based off the navigation chosen. Load times on everything but one part of my site are ok.
The dimensions of the part inside the frame are 968x674. I know that's relatively large for a flash file, but that can't be changed at this point.
Within the page there are objects that come up when you find an item on the screen. Its a dialog box and it shows text, an image, and has a voice over that reads what the text says. After you're done looking at it, there is an x-button to dismiss the window. There are 15 of these and they are exported to the actionscript. I add them in the actionscript via addChild. I figured this is a huge spot that could be reconfigured, but I'm not sure if it would make much a difference.
The other huge thing is there is a ton on the screen. It starts you off in an environment, and when you click 3 different sections, it zooms into that portion allowing you to look for the items you're trying to find.
There is also a man that talks and animates in the beginning and at the end. We are planning on taking out the end part and putting a text box up.
Here is the website.. its a propane safety site for kids. I know its kind of a weird idea, but it works and people seem to like it.
www.propanekids.com
The two parts of the site we are trying to optimize is the main menu when you first are at the site, and the "Explore" section. (Just click on the cloud on the front page.
If someone could take the time to give me some new ideas of how I can get these loading times down, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Windows Compatibility (IE) / Load Time / PNG Files

I host my website on Mobile Me and have had several Windows users look at my site complaining about load time and scrolling issues (up and down the frame is jumpy). I have heard that some older versions of IE cannot work with PNG files very well. I suppose this "may" be the issue. Any thoughts on how to get the web site working more smoothly for those people on Windows using IE? Also, some Firefox users have stated they too have issues when viewing via a Windows a system. Thanks...

Hi!
yeah I initially went through some pains in getting my music to play back under IE as well
www.mafmusic.net
first, post your website
i will then it on my computer (a dual quad core mac pro) and my wife's macbook pro
using both firefox and safari
i also have a pc here (piece of crap) that i can use to test it using ie if you wish
or ask my friends
to test it
i am almost retiring, but have been working from our home for the past few years on a pc
i do database design and data analysis
let me know what you think
about these suggestion
take care and good luck
ps if you like music go to my site and let me know what you like, etc
am open to suggestions
