IWeb Site's Load Slow and Jump/Lock Up IE - Why?

Week 3 of trying to figure out why/how to get pages I created on iWeb to load like they do on Safari/FireFox. IE browsers either lock on loading my pages and/or are jumpy when you scroll the page.
Things I have done:
Changed templates,
Reduced the amount of graphics on the pages,
Ran Maestro (which tells me it only makes the site 29% faster)
Published to FTP server an not Mobile Me
Site originally created in '08 - upgraded to '09
published to server @ redmoonstudios.com
Here is what I started with: http://www.only2degrees.com/kktmp/Only2Degrees/Home.html
Here is what I changed to: http://only2degrees.com/Only2Degrees/Home.html
And pages on IE are still Jumpy! but do load faster than before...
ANY Suggestions, comments, help, critic I will glady take Anything really!
I am at my wit's end with this!
thank you!

p.s. - whoever comes up with the solution that fixes this problem for me, I will happily reward with an iTunes Gift Card !!

You say that optimizing only makes it go 29% faster. That's the difference between actually loading in IE rather than locking it up.
That cool browser background is going to slow things down a lot.
The problem with iWeb is that you can make really snazzy sites but IE can't handle them.
You really have to dumb things down - everything plain - no whistles or bells.
I've found the solution with my latest site. Its for musicians who want to build a site with iWeb so everyone will be looking at it on a Mac.
A couple of years back I read that the average surfer would wait for up to 7 seconds for a page to download. I tried to build a few that would do that in IE. I ended up with a plain white page, an image, a couple of icons and some text and optimized it with WSM and it just made it in time!
The main thing is to make your landing page as simple as possible. If you can get that to download fast and hook people in, you have a better chance of keeping them there even if the rest of the pages are a bit slower.
It looks like you're using the default iWeb page width. I would increase this to the "standard" 980 px and dump the browser background at least for your Home page. Use it on the pages that are mainly text.
The 980 px width fits a 15 inch screen which, believe it or not, a lot of people use and also translates well for iPhones - if you care.

I cannot get my iWeb site to load onto my Godaddy domain. I can get it to test the connection but the progress circle never changes and it never loads.

I cannot get my iWeb site to load onto my Godaddy domain.
I can get it to test the connection succesfully but the progress circle never changes and it never loads.
I know on my previous laptop and website when it was working it should a little progress circle where the little
world icon sits. Now it doesn't load.

'Publish to' should be set to FTP server
Site name is the name you give to your site.
Server address - the domain name of your site, e.g. fred.com
User name - this is the specific user name for FTP which they gave you.
Password - this is the password they gave you for FTP, not the password for your account.
Directory/Path - leave blank to have an index.html file at root level and the site in a folder with its name, so that entering just the domain name takes you to the site. Or if you want it within a folder, enter the folder name.
Protocol: FTP
Website URL os the address which will reach your home page: if there is nothing in the Directory/Path field it will be just the domain name.

I WEB loads slow and grey

My iweb site which is hosted by .mac loads slow and grey on pc's. The grey goes away when loaded but I would rather not have that.
Any suggestions?

You are thinking along the right track. The problem is the PNGs so try to eliminate the PNGs. Where do the PNGs come from? Well, it turns out that iWeb converts your JPG images into PNGs if you let iWeb do ANYTHING at all to the image. This includes resizing, rotating, framing, opacity changes, drop shadows, reflections...anything.
So what do you think the secret to minimizing PNGs is then??? Right....don't let iWeb do any of these image manipulations. Resize your images outside of iWeb if you can. Apply the effects that you like to your images before bringing them into iWeb. Etc, etc, etc...
I know it seems like this is what you'd expect iWeb to do for you, but unfortunately a side effect of letting iWeb take care of these things is PNG conversion.
Even after doing all that you can do, iWeb still has templated items that only exist as PNGs...so you will not be able to completely get rid of PNGs, but you can for a lot of things. That will help your site load faster in general and without those ugly grey boxes where YOUR images should be.

Web Page created using the Site Studio loads slow.

Web Page created using the Site Studio loads slow, where we hard coded the program to fetch the data from the database.
Please tell me any other way to write the program so that it takes less time to load the site.

Hello Marcus,
I didt the same what you have explained. I followed the following Steps.
1. Created the Web Page and published(It is in Umlock State).
2. Created the Site Navigation and gave the target for that page.
3. In the Portal Content, I created a role , then folder and for the folder property, i gave the External Connector wpcnavigation:///wpccontent/Sites/News/Site Navigation/navigation.wpc ( Say for ex News is a Site) and Entry Point as Yes.
4. After this i assigned that role to a user(Super Admin).
After doing the above steps, I couldnt able to see the Web Page displayed.
Thanks

Slow and jumping Real Player 10

I've installed the Real Player 10 on my Arch box. Now when I try to watch a real video stream with Firefoy 1.0.3 it doesn't work very well.
The video is often really slow and jumps all the time. Sometime it works synchronous to the audio stream but this is really seldom and just for short.
I've made a link from my firefoy install directory ("/opt/mozilla/") to "/opt/Real10/mozilla/nphelix.so" where my realplayer is installed. I don't have a very fast system (P III 600 Mhz with 192 MB RAM)
but I don't think it's because of that. In windows I can look realplayer video streams very well.
Does anybody know a solution for this problem, are there any hints, or did I miss something?
Thank you in advance :-)

Use MPlayer and mplayer-plugin. If you like Xine better, then try using it with Mozplugger, which is available via the AUR. GXine also has a Mozilla plugin.

There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Blog page loads slow and scrolls wierd on windows operating systems

I have 2 sites in my iweb with 2 different domains, I started a blog page as a new site and pulished it but when I go to a PC to read it loads really slow and when you scroll down it takes forever even after explorer shows the site as done loading. I tried a couple different PC's from different places and I get the same result. My other page , the 1st site I created, loads just fine and you can scroll through it just fine. what I am doing wrong on the second site?

Blog pages tend to have a lot of content and this can prove too much for poor old IE. Either reduce your content or optimize your files before uploading.

DW 8 Site Manager loads slow

I recently got a new Dell Optiplex 745 and loaded DW 8 and it
worked great. Yesterday I went into Site Manager to edit one of my
sites and it took a full 20 seconds to load. It works fine once
loaded. When I first installed the program and imported my sites,
Site Manager loaded quickly. Programs and updates have been added
since I installed DW 8. Anybody have a clue why the slow load or
more importantly a fix??
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the response, David. Recreating site cache makes
no difference
Let me be a little more precise with what's happening as I
realize that my original post was probably misleading. The Manage
Sites window opens fine. The delay is when I click the new... or
edit... buttons. After clicking either of those buttons, it takes
almost exactly 20 seconds for the Site Definition window to open.
When using the edit... button it makes no difference which of my
sites I'm trying to edit. All current sites and a new site all go
thru the same delay. The other buttons - Duplicate, Remove,
Export..., & Import... - all work normally & immediately.
Thanks,
Jim

How do i save a iWEB site on an imac and then move to a laptop ?

how do i save a iWEB site on an imac ( to what folder and where) and then transfer to a laptop ?
Denis

You transfer it via CD or flash drive or whatever. You install it by simply dragging and dropping the file into the folder on the new machine which corresponds to the folder where you got in on the old one.

ITunes 8 - Loads Slow and Beach Balls

Ever since I started using iTunes 8 it loads real slow and beach balls as I go through my cover art. Anyone else have this issue?? I never had this problem with any other iTunes versions before.
Sidenote: The Genius is turn off.
Thanks.

Hi J|Spoon,
Try deleting the iTunes preference file. Quit iTunes. Locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist
It's here: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to your Desktop. Relaunch iTunes and see if you can access your cover art without iTunes freezing up. If that is the case, then drag that .plist file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Preference files can become corrupted over time. Your Mac will create a new pref file for you.

TS1702 When I tried to update existing Pages app it did not complete loading update and has 'locked' into loading mode. I do not want to trash the existing Pages because it contains documents I need. Any advice?

My problem is that when attempting to load updateed Pages the app has frozen in 'loading' mode and will not complete the loading. It is now unusable and does not respond to turning off the iPad and restarting. The Pages icon is in 'shadow' and will not respond . Cannot get the red minus symbol. Can get X symbol but do not want to trash it because it contains many documents I do not want to lose. Suggestions welcome!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Blog Loads Slow and Intermittent Internet Connection for One Site Only

Hi
Yesterday we had a site where the blog lost it's feed, but was restore after a chat with support. Today the blog post are not coming up in the admin. I can see the list, but the not the post as the flywheel keeps spinning and spinning.
When I go online, I can get to the blog fine, but when I click on the pagination links below or try to do a reload, the entire page gets lost or server can not be found.
I have re-uploaded all the Layouts and Templates, but with no change.
Anyone else having this issue, or is there something wrong with this site's blog?
All other pages and features are accessible from the browser and admin, just not the blog.
Thanks, Teejay

Hi Teejay,
If still experiencing troubles with your blogs please provide the following details so we can attempt to replicate on our end..
- blog name or url
- steps you are taking (where you are noticing the slowness)
Or if you would rather you could also provide a quick video cast or your experience so we can investigate further.

Help... InDesign is extremely slow and jumps in front of other programs

I actually have 2 issues with InDesign CS3.
1st, when I open up older files, let's say InDesign CS2, or even some files that may have images in it that I cut and pasted from an older file, my InDesign is extremely slow. And I do have just typical display showing... it's like everything I try and do, I have to wait 10 sec for the mac wheel to spin before I can do anything. Even if it's just clicking to select an item. Today I opened a CS3 file I did 3 months ago, saved it under a different name, and now I am having this problem.
2nd, when I go to another application, like acrobat to review a pdf, or mail, or any of them really, as soon as I am in the other program, InDesign jumps right back in front and becomes the active program... does anyone know why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristie

I'd suggest you deep clean your InDesign files that are causing issues - http://indesignsecrets.com/indesign-interchange-format-inx.php
And try these other common methods for fixing InDesign when it goes bad
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991
Also make sure your InDesign CS2 up to the latest patch and save your file there first.
And make sure you're CS3 is up the latest patch too.
You can find those under Help>Update.

Why is my system running slow and or locking up?

I have an imac all in one desktop, w/version 10.8.2 software updated. I am having issues now while on the internet, the web browser locks up or sits there and spins. It is now locking up my yahoo messenger and other apps I may have open. It has been cleaned w/clean my mac and tune up my mac. Cleaned it all and made it have even more room. I use google chrome as my default. I have had to try safari a few times because this chrome one doesn't support a lot of sites. It is also updated and the safari will cause it to lock up real fast. You can hear it like making noise inside the computer, like its spinning its wheels but not going anywhere. Can someone please help me out here on what to do?
Thanks.....
