Page load EXTREMELY slow - maybe due to Muse re-optimizing JPGs as PNGs?

Muse Team, please help and advise.
I'm using a bunch of transparency, shadow and bevel effects on photos in my website, and the load time is horribly slow. I assume due to the PNGs that Muse has created to achieve some of these effects - some of them are more than a MB in size! I've tried to open these Muse-generated PNGs and re-optimize them down in Photoshop, but each time I transfer the down-sized PNGs to my FTP, they bloat back up again. The website in question is www.chuckburgi.com. It contains 5 bloated PNGs that are semi-transparent and I see them as down-sized on my desktop but they bloat back up to their original huge size when I FTP them or put them on Dropbox. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you!

Hi Zak,
Bad news. I think maybe there is ANOTHER BUG.
I tried the fix you suggested - taking out fill opacity and trying the effect with object opacity instead. The rollover stopped working. The hidden image shows on rollover but the picture states don’t change.
So, I figured maybe I should create the images in PS first and just import them for the rollover states, that way I could avoid using any opacity settings in Muse. I made two JPGs to size and imported them. Rollover still broken.
I started a fresh document and brought a newly created Composition Widget into it (the built in Tooltip widget from Muse), and added my own pictures to the States. Still broken.
I brought in a fresh Composition Widget from Muse Themes and set that one up with PNGs instead of JPGs for the images. Again, hidden image shows but rollover is broken.
I inserted a plain image (not a composition) and set the rollover states in that - that one works.
It appears that rollovers in Composition Widgets are broken. So I can’t even TOUCH my original site’s block of show/hide photos to fix them without the actions breaking.
Can you help?
Here’s a URL for my test site:
http://chuckbugtest.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
I am posting the Muse file for that and the image files to my Dropbox:

Web pages loading EXTREMELY slow

It takes FOREVER for any web page to load (we're talking like several minutes even to load Google search), but it shows I have full signal strength. However, my husband's MacBook is functioning fine as well as his PC which all use the same network. I have an AirPort and AirPort extreme. I've even tried directly connecting to the AirPort extreme to see if that would help the speed problem, and it did--but only for a few minutes. After that, it displayed the same problems as before--MIND-BENDINGLY SLOW page load. I've cleared the cache, history, renew DHCP, reset the router... everything I can think of and still to no avail.
This all started happening after I was using my MacBook to connect my XBox360 to the internet and had to change some of the MacBook settings. I have since restored all the settings and turned off Internet Sharing.
I took it to the Genius Bar, twice, and they said it has to be my network, because it connects and loads pages at lightning speeds when I'm on the Apple Store network. Ugh. This is sooo frustrating and has basically rendered my mac useless.
Ideas?

Here are a couple things you can try:
1) If possible, bypass your router, and connect directly to your cable/dsl modem.
2) Try a different DNS (domain name server). This can resolve the problem if the slowness stems from looking up (i.e. "contacting") the web server. You are probably currently using the DNS of your ISP. Since your husband is not experiencing the problem, this might be a stretch, but still worth a shot. You can try OpenDNS (https://www.opendns.com/start/)

Verizon page is extremely slow

I upgraded my internet speed to 25/15. I have Fios DVR, many computers(wired and wireless) and wireless devices such as PSPs and ipods, and sometimes use my smartphone as a DVR remote. I don't have any problems, except for when I go to pay my bill every month. The VZ page is extremely slow, and to me is junky. The computer I use to pay my bill is a wired connection, and may be a little older, but the VZ page is the only page I have problems with. And PLEASE stop asking me to install the Google toolbar. I hate Google! Don't they know enough about me already? Why won't I update Google map on my phone? Look at the permissions! Other than that, great job! Fios, phone and internet is reliable, and don't give me any problems. But Google......c'mon!

All videos load extremely slow

I have the Break app and the YouTube app and all videos load extremely slow on my ipod touch 5g. It makes it not worth trying to load any videos. I'm currently at work and the wireless here is limited to 1mb. But I have my ipod touch 3g sitting right next to me and it loads at the expected speed (based on the bandwidth cap here). Is the video quality increased automatically, sucking more bandwidth? I can't find any settings to change the quality though. This makes viewing videos not even worth trying.
I'm going to do some tests tonight when I get home which has a 8mbps average download for wired so my wireless won't be limited at all.
Anyone else experiencing any slowness isssues with videos?

Internet videos are becoming more bloated all the time.
Many things can affect it though.

YouTube - loading extremely slow!

YouTube videos are loading extremely slow! This happens if I am connected to WiFi or 3G. They use to load a lot faster when I first bought my device.

Since you're in the EU it seems, I won't recommend turning off IPv6... a general fix otherwise.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply.
You can also add them to your Router.

thanks,
Kerim

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).

Pages load times slow

When opening Pages '13 the load time simply to open up the application is extremely slow, over 1 minute, this has happened ever since loading that latest version and the app is not responding all the time it hangs but eventually comes back up . I rebooted the MAC just to verify and validate but still happening.
Any recommendations?

Restart with Shift key pressed. Log in and out again Restart in normal way and see if it helped.

Guest Portal web page load is slow and timesout on occasions

Hi All,
I'm hitting a rather unusual issue with our Guest WLAN users. Firstly let me describe the topology:-
2 x 5508 WLC controllers one Foreign and one Anchor. Mobility tunnel between the two WLC's as the Guest WLAN is on the WLC sitting in the DMZ.
30+ 2702i AP's running in FlexConnect mode for Dot1X WLAN and Central Switching for Guest WLAN.
Cisco ISE 1.3 acting as Radius server and providing Authentication and Authorisation policies.
Dot1x Authentication and Authorisation works fine with Dynamic VLAN assignment based on AD memberships.
The issue is with the Guest WLAN is that from a security perspective we weren't allowed to use the Central Web Authentication using L2 MAC filtering with the L3 Security of None as described in Cisco Document: 115732.
So the Guest WLAN has been set up with no L2 security and the L3 Security of Web Policy with Web Authentication to External Server i.e. Cisco ISE and RADIUS override on the Advanced tab of the Guest WLAN.
So a client connects to the Guest WLAN SSID > receives the DHCP IP address hosted by the Anchor WLC and then one opens a browser types in the URL and the Security message is presented > Continue to this website (not recommended) selected and the process of receiving the Web Redirect Sign On Web page begins and hangs around forever.
Depending on the Client i.e. Apple IPAD the sign on page loads correctly although can be slow to start with but a successful login is completed, but with windows clients and MAC Air books there is an issue with the browser either timing out the page and a retry is necessary or we can't move beyond the following page - https://x.x.x.x:8443/portal /PortalSetup.action?portal=194a5780-5e4e-11e4-b905-005056bf2f0a?switch_url=https://1.1.1.1/login.html&client mac=00:23:4e:86:98:3c&wlan=GUEST&redirect=www.cisco.com/
Any suggestions would be really appreciated with this as it's creating a lot of frustration.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Yes Guest Cert will need to be external. Because Guest Users if they have a non-corporate laptop for example will not have your Internal Company Certs installed in their browser (that you loaded onto ISE), so they cannot trust your internal Cert.
If your open Firefox or IE under Options/Security View Certificates you will see a list, if its a Guest you will see well known public Certs like Geotrust, Verisign etc.
For my setup I brought a GeoTrust cert and loaded this into ISE, this way Guests will always Trust the Geostrust ISE cert like https://guest.com for example and the login will appear and be trusted.

Pages runs extremly slow

I am using a powerbook 17", 1.67 GHZ, 1.5 GB RAM with 10.4.2.
Pages is excellent but extremely slow. When placing a table or a graphis, it takes seconds for changing on letter. Same when moving a graphic on the side to her right place. Sometimes when clicking on a object to move it, we still have to wait 10 - 15 seconds.
We like pages and the great user interface. But the speed makes it impossible for using it in the whole company. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot
PS: all other programs are running fine and quick.

One of the things which is slowing pages down for you is the wrapping.
What I have done in the past, while making templlates, is to use the layout feature for the majority of the text flow if a page has a graph or large image in it. Rather than have the program wrap the text with the precious cycles on my 800Mhz G4 ibook, I preformat the text layout. If you are making a large number of pages in your documents where the graphic is in the same spot then try building a layout for the text and then placing the graphic, table or other element where the page is 'empty'.
A hint is to use the upper part of the page for your images and stuff. It iss easier to have the text start lower down the page since it can be a bit difficult dictatin where the text will stop on a page.
Another thing is if you have been using the program for a while, save the document. This will commit the version of the document to the hard drive instead of having the revisions and text sitting in memory. It's also a good habit to get into.

Why has my page loading speed slowed on OS6?

My page loading speed has slowed to a crawl with OS6. Anybody else having this problem? I feel like I have a dial up connection.

RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Hi all
First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

Web pages loading unusually slow. Load fine in alt browser

Web pages on numerous sites very slow to load. Even coming to Firefox to report. Including some pages coming up error as if there is no connection. I tried alternative browser and the pages load fine. I could have stayed on that browser but ff has always been my goto.
I have a nexus 7 (suppose I should say 1st gen now) running 4.3.

There are some problems with the new Android version (4.3), they should be fixed very soon (12-24 weeks), there is a solution, use firefox nightly, the superbeta version of firefox 26.

Does the nightly work better?

Fired up my first Azure Website to host some virtual tours... ftp uploading and page loads super slow.

I upgraded my plan to BASIC... any idea why FTP upload are so slow? When I go to my pages, they are loading slowly too.

Hi,
First, please have a look at this article to see how to use FTP in azure:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaushal/archive/2014/08/02/microsoft-azure-web-site-connect-to-your-site-via-ftp-and-upload-download-files.aspx, based on your description, the pages loading slowly, this issue only occur in your first time to loading? If yes, I
think it is normal, If you mean the initial request takes long and then any subsequent requests are fast, then that would be because you are hitting .NET apps cold start. Many .NET apps are slow to JIT and load all their .NET requirements, but once everything
is loaded, they are fast. If I misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Boot and page load very slow after 2nd HD install

Good morning.
I recently added a second slave HD (80 GB with a OS X partition) to my beige G3 MT. I am using the original 9 GB drive as the boot drive. Northing else was changed.
Since that time, the boot time has increased significantly (2-3X pre 2nd drive).
Also, page load times have been increased with the Norton AntiVirus symbol being displayed.
1. What's causing the slow boot? Is the CPU looking at the new drive and applying Norton before the original boot drive?
2. Are there settings in Norton that might help?
3. Is it even worth continuing Norton use for this OS 9.1 machine?
Thanks for your time!

Hi, Bruce. NAV is probably scanning the entire new drive at startup, thus accounting for the major startup slowdown. And no, there's no good reason to have NAV installed at all. Your Mac doesn't need antivirus protection.
