Site is slow?

Hi All,
I have some questions. I have been using iWeb for a couple of months. I mainly use it for the albums page. I have about 8 albums, and each contain 60 -100 photos. I post the photos in highest quality for downloads. When I visit the site now, it is really.... really slow. I click on a photo and it takes forever to load. Also, the slide show takes forever. I have been searching a way to change the speed of the slide show? Is there one. It seems its not the same speed as the slide show in iPhoto?
How many albums can I post on one page? Will that have an effect on the speed of the web site?
Also, my parents have a PC and they can not access the site. They say after awhile of viewing photos, it crashes their explorer.... haha thats why I bought a MAC!!! Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Also have another question, I publish using iWeb, which sends my stuff to (web.me.com/.....) now I have a "mobileme gallery" button in iPhoto. There is only one photo in there. What is this and why do I have it ???? It doesn't seem to be the same web.me.com/ site? Do I delete it or show I be using it instead of iWeb?
Thanks for the help

The iWeb photos and Albums templates are about the worst way of displaying photos on a website.
You need to cut the "quality" and quantity of your photos per page.
Have a look at this site for some ideas ...

Also see this site for stuff about flash slideshows ....

You can export you photos as a gallery and link it to your iWeb site.

Upgraded to FF4 sites were slow loading or not loading at all - then I discovered it downloads if I keep moving the cursor. If I stop moving the cursor the downloading stops or slows to a crawl again.

Site to Slow?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if my site is slow or about average. Think it may be the wireless network I am currently using.
Click here to view website.
Thanks, Kriss886.

I really like the way you combined your background image and your main content to act transparent. I played around with your background image for a while and learnt that adding a 'center' value allows for specific positioning. Without the 'center' value , the image was displacing whenever I manually zoomed in and out in my browser:
body {
    background:#000 url(images/tester.jpg) no-repeat center;
    margin-left: 20%;
    margin-right: 20%;
This may help others who are in the learning process, like I am.
I'd really like to know how to add in transparent images into my work!

IWeb sites are slow to upload. text columns turn to heavy png files

Hi!
Yes I've noticed that iweb sites for some odd reason are slower to load on any browser. No matter what the hosting is. I use Me.com for a few years and iWeb as I don't have the time or patience to bother with Dreamweaver. I use Me.com for hosting as well as another web hosting server. If there is graphic material on the page, it takes so long to open. Apple must do something about it for sure.
The program iWeb itself doesn't open up fast enough if you have more than 3 pages on it (which any normal site would have). I'm glad Apple made good changes in iWeb09, but it needs to do something about the speed of the program, the sites it makes and how it processes simple matter on it.
Even though, I have come across some good examples of iWeb made sites that are easy and relatively faster to open or they open at a normal speed. The authors also have used flash material on their iWeb sites. I have a non-registered program (web site Maestro) that claims to ease up and streamline the graphic and other heavy content on a iWeb site to make it lighter with loading.
But the unregistered version works on 70 percent files only. And I don't really notice any difference with it either. So I'm doubtful of buying the full version.
Any thoughts? Solutions? Would really appreciate.
ANOTHER ISSUE that I have discovered while making iWeb site is that a text column put on a shape after publishing turns into a heavy PNG picture file that can weight almost upto 1 whole megabyte!!!
And you keep wondering why the darn page is so slow to open!!! Cuz a simple text could've been just about 50kb. But it turns into a 900kb picture in png!!! Is there a way to change this?? I guess, taking out the picture from the published site folder and reediting it in - say - Photoshop reducing its size may help. But its so cumbersome and arduous to go into every darn folder and open all the text now converted into pics and re-edit them!! And then their reduced quality will make the text look feeble and bad quality too.
This is a problem that APPLE iWEB experts Must work on. iWeb gives a certain flexibility as its like a free flowing canvas. But then its also a known fact that iWeb sites are exceptionally heavier to open, unless you know many other tweaks here and there to make it work right. But again, this is contrary to the purpose of iWeb, cuz its made for amateur site makers.
I wish there is a work around this thing really.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FRIENDS?? WOULD LOVE TO HEAR. PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND SOLUTIONS.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nitesh

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Shapes by their very nature are graphic elements that end up a png file whether there's text in them or not. You should try adding the text in a text box above the shape and see if there's any difference. Just be sure to use a Web Safe Font and not add any enhancements that will turn it into a image file:
Click to view full size
You may not notice a difference with loading with WSM but those with Internet Explorer should. Have you tested your site with and without WSM on a PC?
In WSM you can set the amount of optimizing for graphics. I've set it at about 60% (moderate) and haven't tested other settings for image quality. I'm sure a lower quality level, i.e. more compression, will have a impact on file loading. I just don't have a feel for the greatest amount of compression that will still have acceptable image quality. You'll just have to experiment.
If your site is a commercial site then using a commercial hosting server is the best option. Also, it's reported that using a Text Based Navbar instead of iWeb's java based one will help dark side compatibility.
Be sure to put in feature requests for the improvements that you see necessary to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html.

Ask your question.APPLE WEB SITE IS SLOW

I'm on apple support page,I ask a question,10sec later the page comes up. I click on a question and 5 sec later the tiny circular spins letting me know it's looking for the page and then 5 sec later the page opens. Anything and every thing I do the apple web site takes about 10sec or longer every time I click go.
A lot of times if I click twice and some times just once I get a pop up telling me Apple is not responding.
I thought it was verizon service but I just got charter and it's the same way. Any Ideas??
I just went down this page to find out where the best place on apple is to put my question and I clicked the box WiFi and 5 sec later the check mark showed up.

I actualy had Verizon shut off and removed there security from my p/c and I'm in awe. My p/c is fast and I no longer have trouble with turning pages. I was wrong about charter.com it's who I have now and I'm not haveing trouble with slow int and clicking on the next web page is fast.
At first it was the same thing w/charter but I still had verizon. I wanted to see if charter was better before I got rid of Verizon but I got speed only after I called Verizon and had them shut me off and then I got rid of there security.
I HOPE THIS HELPS.

General inquiry - Why ar .Mac and publishing/accessing iWeb sites so slow??

Greetings,
I do realize that that general topic has been addressed somehow many times, in whole or in parts. I am just shooting for a general update on the subject(s).
I have grown fond of iWeb and just renewed my .Mac subscription. I am also a user of Dreamweaver and FrontPage. I just find the iWeb/.Mac combination so straight forward and... irresistible fun to play with!
BUT, before i commit more to that environment, I need to know - again:
1. Why is .Mac/iDisk so slow in access?
2. Correspondingly, publishing to .Mac and iDisk is slow. Why, actually?
3. Difficulties in accessing iWeb sites published to .Mac/iDisk when using InternetExplorer (which, whether we want it or not, IS the predominant browser out there...). We know Firefox is better at it.
4. Ultimately, would publishing iWeb sites to other servers (I have a couple of non-iWeb websites currently hosted elsewhere) make publishing AND accessing such sites speedier?
I will appreciate any advice, input, assessment.
- Roger T

I think it's because it's more a social server with a lot of server side features available for .Mac users and iLife applications. Therefore there's a fair amount of server work when users use it for email, web sites with slideshows, backing up, etc. A commercial server will be much faster. There are othesr here that know more about servers than I and can give you a more technical explanation. But you're right, it is slow but convenient.

IWeb site very slow

I have created a website with iWeb08 for a local theatre company but my problem with it is that everyone trying to access it tells me it is very very slow and they also have problems with fonts (it looks good on my Mac but terrible on IE). Is there anything that can be done ? I am thinking of re-creating the site with Freeway 4. I generally like iLife'08 but iWeb is a big disappointement for me...

Your download speed is determined by the size of the page file, your server response and the speed of the internet connection of the end user. None of this is an iWeb problem- it applies to all websites no matter what application you use to create them.
If you depart from the web safe Mac/Windows fonts you can't expect them to render correctly in Internet Explorer - the worlds' worst browser.
You can get round this problem by converting your text to an image in iWeb.
To cut your download time you can decrease the size of image and media files and refrain from putting too many on a page. Its a matter of common sense and trial and error.
Optimizing your files before uploading to the server will make your website noticably faster to download.

Support Site Super Slow?

I was attributing it to the release of Lion and maybe just getting tons more people... but that seems to have settled somewhat. Also, considering the nature of the support site (being pretty much just text), I would expect it could handle quite a bit of activity. It has just been super slow. At times I'll get the yellow "post-it" message saying they're updating the site after a long delay, then a refresh brings it up. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm having the same issue at home and work.

Tony,
Wow, it sounds like you have had a string of bad luck on this. Very sorry to hear that!
We are migrating to a new support site platform - mobile and Idea products have already moved, and the Think products will migrate and everything should be complete by August 11th (current target). The URL will be the same, and all the "moving" banners should be cleaned up then.
Hopefully, on the other side, we will have much faster / stable support site experience for all our customers. We DO want you to be able to use the support site and to have a good experience there!
Sorry about the delay and the part damaged in shipping that added to it. Hopefully, service will sortly get this resolved for you. If you feel this is still stuck in a couple days, please let me know and we'll try to arrange additional help.
Best regards,
Mark

Dreamweaver Sites are Slow. Shall I combine it with CMS or WP?

Hi guys, i designed two websites already in dreamweaver and uploaded it in a Hostgator-hosted domain, and everytime I visit the page, it loads very slow. Is that the normal thing for such website? Or should I use Wordpress or other CMS to make it faster? Thanks!

Firstly, your site is hosted on a budget webhost (hostgator). You get what you pay for. Your website is sharing the same server with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of other websites.
WordPress is itself a CMS (a big fat slow one). CMS = Content Management System. A CMS allows non-web designers to manage the content of a website, even creating new pages, adding images, and managing the menu. A CMS is tied to a database and puts more strain on the web server, so if you are using a budget host like hostgator, a CMS could perform more slowly.
Check the image sizes on your website and optimize them in Photoshop, if you have not already done so. Your images might be the problem.
Try moving the Google analytics code to the bottom of the page. I'm not familiar with the script you are using for google analytics. If it is the asynchronous version, it should run quickly. At any rate, there is usually no need to run it in the head.

Do you think the download site getting slower and slower.

Maybe the whole OTN site is getting slower.
I remeber, originally(back to jdev 902 RC) I selecting Jdeveloper based on I was downloading the Visual Age for Java and Jdev at the same time and after several minutes, I got Jdev and then got Oracle 9i, but the downloadings of DB2 and VA4J are sluggish.
Though, I'm currently main using Netbeans and Eclipse, after 4 years I want to get Jdev1013 a try, I must to say time passes and the situation has changed:
(comparing with other IDE site)
1) the download step is too complex
2) the download speed is too slow
3) I could not use my "Download Manager" software now
4) the cycle of release is too long, lag support the new JDK, which is the main reason I have to switch to other IDE
here is not reprove but heaty hope you (the whole team) can be aware!
Actually, there are many features exist in Jdev and still lack in other IDE:
1) Visual JSP/HTML/... dev
2) JSP/HTML preview
3) Full supporting J2EE stack (though too tight binding OC4J)
4) WebStar support
5) One click deployment
6) easy for newbies
that is it
best regards

It's already on sale. Most likely not anytime soon.

Umbraco site running slow on Azure Websites

I have a site using Umbraco that I recently moved to Azure Websites with a SQL Azure server (first time I've used Azure)for hosting and since moving it there I'm seeing some serious performance issues. The site was hosted on a dev server that we have with
Rackspace and performance was just fine there. But on Azure load times seem to have doubled to tripled on some pages. The pages have that are loading slow have a lot of relational data that I have set up using node to node relations.
For example of load times:
http://tipawards.azurewebsites.net/the-heroes/ - 5384ms on Azure
http://tipheroes.openfieldcreative.com/the-heroes/ - 2548ms on Rackspace
and even worse:
http://tipawards.azurewebsites.net/resources/ - 13872ms on Azure
http://tipheroes.openfieldcreative.com/resources/ - 3193ms on Rackspace
I've tried upgrading both the server and the database and neither seems to have any effect on the load times. The server stats also don't seem to be spiked out. RAM for website stays around 32% and spikes once to 42% while the largest processor spike is
2%. The SQL Azure server spikes at about 22% DTUs. I also have the website set be always on to keep it warm.
I'm at a loss here as to what would be causing such a drastic change in performance.
Any suggestions that anyone could give to speed this up some is greatly appreciated and I'm happy to supply any additional information.
Thanks,
Owen

Managing Site - Very slow

Lately when I have to set up a new site and I click new or
edit in Manage Sites, it's very slow, almost like its hung up and
DW8 is freezing up, finally it goes to the next window. What could
cause that? It's never done that before. Is it a bug or something?
I'm using version 8.0.2

Probably better off asking this question in the DW newsgroup

Https sites very slow on HH3 ....an idiot posts...

Hi
I'm an idiot as you shall see.
After having spent some considerable time reading this and other forums I think my problem is summed up as:
- HH3 been happily operating for some time but after several months an issue started to develop. Any secure site, (shopping, banking, work log on etc )suddenly takes an age to load and eventually they start to time out
- all devices experience the same effect at the same time - desktop, laptop, ipad
- turn off HH3 for a few minutes and then on again and lo and behold they speed along for a few days until they start to slow down and so on through a repeating pattern.
From what I've been reading turning it off and on again isn't clever in the long run as your line 'looks' worse to the BT guru exchange thingy which may downgrade your speed (ours ADSL typically 5M) and I'd obviously not want that to happen.... it's also a pain in the backside to keep wandering around the house to flick the switches.
Cue lots of browsing and my idiot interpretation leads me to think I should be doing something clever with port-forwarding(?) Looking at the hub manager it looks like I could choose https and direct it to A device (say the laptop) BUT...
1- does this mean that going forwards ONLY the laptop would be able to access the https sites?
2- can I open the https to more than one device in the hub manager
3- am I completely barking up the wrong tree and I should be looking at something else entirely?
As per my intial comments this isn't my forte at all so if any help could be in really basic terms I'd be grateful.....

This is rather odd....
The differences between https and http happens at a different (higher) part of the network stack to either Wi-Fi or ADSL, so it seems at first thought unlikely that the HH is the root cause. On the other hand for it to happen on all your devices suggests that it is not an OS issue (which is where I would have thought this would lie) - which points us back to the HH as the common failure point.
One thing that does occur to me is that a few years back I had a router that would lose connectivity whenever I tried to open a RealPlayer stream forcing me to restart it - this was resolved when I replaced the router, which tells me that router faults can sometimes be triggered by specific network protocols. This makes me suspect you might have a fault in your hub. The first thing to try is a factory reset to rule out a software or configuration issue - if that does not help then it may be hardware related, but the only way to verify that is to replace the hub (or ideally borrow one for a bit).
Port forwarding will not help you as that is a way of allowing incoming connection requests to be handled by a server on your network - wheras your browser makes outgoing requests, and I suspect you are not running any servers on your network. In any case it would do nothing to address the underlying fault.

Site so slow!

Is anyone else having the problem that when you type you do
not see what you are typing until you wait and the site catches up
with your typing? This happens with this fourm and when I send an
email to tech support.
Jay

Adobe.com is very slow, agreed. After recent discussion in
one of my
posts, I'm not using Thunderbird, Mozilla's
email/rss/newsgroup client,
to read and post to these (and other) forums. It's very easy
to setup
and definitely worth checking out.
If you download Thunderbird, or any newsgroup reader, look to
create a
new account, and set "forums.macromedia.com" as the news
server to
connect to.
of course, that's won't help with emails to support from the
website...

Site is slow?
