Site loading slowly in browsers

Hi, I've created this site in iWeb 3.0.2. It's loading slowly, and even more so when on AOL. I have a lot of images per page, and try to keep them small. I'd appreciate any feedback on how to improve the loading speed in all browsers. Thanks for your help!

You have a lot of images that are PNGs. The total file size is large and is compounded by your use of frames.
Try adding the frames before importing into iWeb and load them as JPEGs.
Using an Optimizer application will also dramatically speed up the download of your pages.

This may help too....

Z87 GD45 Network issues/some sites loading slowly

Hi, I've just built a new system with a MSI Z87 GD45 and i5 4670k. Everything is running great, but certain websites load slowly.
Microsoft has been the worst so far. At first the page I need would sometimes not load all the assets, and then it would load the site fine, but the downloads are ALWAYS unbearably slow. I had to get the .NET 4.5 framework because my AMD catalyst drivers were stopping on that process, but downloading from microsoft was under 1KB/s. I ended up having to download the .NET framework through a torrent, because every other site just mirrored microsofts link.
Other websites are intermittently loading very slowly or just a little bit slower than they should.
I have a 100Mbit fiber connection that consistently gets between 110 and 116MbitDL and 2.3-2.5Mbit UL on speedtest.net from my local server. When I say some sites are loading slow, I mean slower than 56k, not slow relative to my normal fast speeds. My last computer using realtek eNIC and my room mates computer using a broadcomm eNIC has no such issues.
What I have tried so far:
Downloaded the latest killer E2200 drivers and removal utility.
Removed old drivers, rebooted.
Run removal utility, rebooted.
Installed new drivers, rebooted.
Tried with Atheros Killer application manager enabled (default) and disabled.
My system consists of:
MSI z87 GD45
Core i5 4670k (stock)
GEIL Evo veloce 16GB (2x8GB) 1866 (XMP)
Gigabyte HD7950 3GB windforce (from my old computer)
Seasonic 660w Platinum PSU in hybrid fan mode (in stress testing the fan has never switched on)
Sandisk Extreme II 240GB SSD
WD 3TB green HDD
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
The system has otherwise been completely stable and runs cool in stress testing (prime95 and furmark).
The only other issue(s) is that there is no driver installed for the PCI Simple communications Controller and two other Unknown Devices in the Device manager. I installed the chipset, LAN and audio drivers and then the intel USB3 driver. On reboot, nothing using USB worked, including my mouse and keyboard, so I rebooted in safe mode and removed the driver... now everything works. Should I perhaps look for a newer version of this driver. I can't see how that's related to my internet speed issue though...
Back to the problem, right now I'm downloading microsoft security essentials at 4KB/s which is the fastest it has gone so far. Before that I downloaded a game from steam at 8-12MB/s..... why is microsofts site so consistently slow on my system?

Hi Andrew86,
It's obvious you just made a typo. Here is one topic regarding internet with the 45 : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170539.0
This seemed to be a solution
Quote from: Insirion on 29-August-13, 00:53:15
yesterday I got a bluescreen. i had those 3 times that week. On the log it said it was because of the killer network card.
Too fix this I went to "msconfig' then the tab services. And check off "Qualcomm Atheros killer Service",
And under boot I disabled KillerNetManager. Wiorked for me so far.

Why is my site loading slowly?

I'm curious. I have high speed, and my site loads quickly for me, although, it does take a few seconds as things appear, like the background, headings, etc. Is this normal? Some others are saying that it's VERY slow for them, so it's gotta be bad for non high speed internet users.
What causes this, and how can I help it? I changed my background, which was something I "painted" in Painter IX, and tweaked in Photoshop, then I optimized it for the web, which made it a GIF. I figured that would help a lot, but it seems to have made it a tad slower, actually. Weird. Even my images are all downsized in the "downsize" program. Can't figure out what would be causing it to be so slow!

Hi Tami
Here are some of the backgrounds and images you are using on your pages, and their sizes:
http://www.heartdogstudios.com/heartdogstudios/Homefiles/backgroundimage1.png 850K
http://www.heartdogstudios.com/heartdogstudios/About%20Me_files/Biophoto-filtere d.png 446K
http://www.heartdogstudios.com/heartdogstudios/Images/background.gif 319K
http://www.heartdogstudios.com/heartdogstudios/Photographyfiles/backgroundimage1.png 479K
It's these that are causing the problem.
If you've already optimised the images, then once you drag them into iWeb, don't apply any effects within iWeb itself, otherwise you will turn it into a png again upon publish.

IWeb site loading slowly?

Hi! My iWeb site loads really slow. I think it's because iWeb converts all the images to PNG. How can I make my site load faster?
~Matt

PNGs load really fast, they are the smallest and highest quality images.
Do you have a link to the site, it will allow us to see it and figure out what is slowing it down.

Site loads on most browsers, but one PC having trouble viewing CSS

I set up a website and it loads fine on most browsers. One person is having trouble vieiwng it. It looks to me like the CSS/DWT isnt loading correctly. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Im using CS6.
site is www.schmooklaw.com
On the problem PC, only the menu and hyperlinks load. Here is a screenshot

You have a few minor code errors:

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.

On your Mac, make sure Automatic Downloads is selected in iTunes / Preferences - Store.
Same for Books on your iPad.
Instructions here > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

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.

Web sites loading very, very slowly.

On both the iMac and the PowerBook, web sites (like my Apple start page) load painfully slowly. On the iPhone 2, however, there's no problem — all use the Extreme/Express wireless system in the house. This has happened before — what would cause this? BTW, a download test routinely indicates almost 9 MG.

No change regarding history and cache (though I don't know what tmp. files are). Some sites load in a flash — others stall (though sometimes they have no problem). Bumping the start does help. The DSL modem has been reset. I don't know what else to try. Not running anything new or different. This has been a very fast machine — until now. BTW, I just remembered that this may be associated with a number of unusual Safari crashes (reported to Apple).

Muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices

My muse-built site on business catalyst isn't loading on all browsers and devices e.g. the full-screen video widget doesn't load or play, the scrolling doesn't work. Any advice? The site is gulch.businesscatalyst.com

Once you add the domain to Business Catalyst and finish all the DNS delegation steps listed in the article for launching a site on BC, your old site will no longer load and users will go to the new BC site. Your old hosting then could be discontinued with whichever vender you used. Be aware that DNS can sometimes take 24 hours to fully propogate so you should wait to make sure that things are all loading properly. -j

Router causing specific site to load slowly

I am using a wrt54g with the latest firmware. When I visit www.scarebearsclan.com it gets stuck on connecting for 6-8 seconds before beginning to load. The reason I believe it is my router is because when I disconnect my router the site loads fast and there is no delay at connecting. I cannot understand why this is happenning. I do not seem to have this problem with any other site that I've noticed so far. Please help somone. Thank you

Are you facing this issue on both wired and wireless computer ?
Try to change different wireless channels and then check.

ALL HTTPS SITES LOAD EXTREMELY SLOW - WHY?

I am running windows xp + firefox 17 - any https site loads very slowly , while in other browsers no problem at all.

If you reset Firefox or otherwise cleared the cache/preferences, the SPDY setting may have been saved/stored. You can try to '''Clear Now''' the '''Cache''' and '''Site Preferences''' with '''Time range to clear''' set to '''Everything''' via '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History Clear Recent History] and check each time after enabling and disabling.

Swf does not load completely in browsers

Hello,
It looks like other people are having issues with
uploading/viewing, but I can't seem to find an answer to my
problem. There are pieces missing from my home page. When I go back
to the home page from the other pages (by clicking on "Lindsey
Sonu", the home page is complete. I have checked my site on three
different browsers, at all times of the day and on both a mac and
pc. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Please help!

Thank you :)

So after hrs of searching forums and trying different things,
I still couldnt get my site to load completely until I decided that
maybe it could be a corrupt image that I used. It wasnt that
either, but then I remembered that this started happening after I
added a preloader. So I took the preloader off and now my site
loads correctly! Hallelujah! I'm still confused as to why that was
the problem. Maybe the site doesnt need a preloader b/c of its
small size. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone who comes across this
issue!

Fast Internet Connection, but webpages loading slowly

Hello everybody,
this is my first post in this community. So far this group has helped me to solve all kinds of problems I ran into by simply browsing the forum, but this time I hope that somebody might be able to help me directly.
My wireless network at home consists of an AirPort Extreme Base Station (4th Generation) and an AirPort Express Base Station that are both connected via Ethernet to a Cisco Router. I have a cable internet connection and I use the Cisco Router (which was provided by my ISP) as an interface between the cable socket and my two Apple base stations. However, only the AirPort Extreme Base Station is used to create a wireless network. The AirPort Express is used only for AirPlay.
For a couple of months now, I have been experiencing an odd problem. Webpages take a very long time to load on my MacBook Pro (13'' Retina display), my older MacBook, as well as on my girlfriend's MacBook Air (11''). Sometimes the pages load for so long that there is a timeout before the page is loaded completely. I experience this with all kinds of web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). The odd thing is that only the loading of webpages seem to be affected. Internet Downloads, Video Streams, etc. are still extremely fast. I get the following results on speedtest.net (after spending 1 minute to load the page):
- Ping: 9ms
- Download Speed: 38.55 Mbps
- Upload Speed: 7.62 Mbps
Also, when connected to the network with my iPad or my girlfriend's iPhone, pages load with a normal speed. We experience the issues only on our Mac computers. Outside my home network all computers load pages as quickly as they should.
Here is a list of things that I tried:
- Restarted AirPort Extreme Base Station and Cisco Router
- Factory Reset of AirPort Extreme Base Station and Cisco Router
- Downgraded AirPort Extreme Base Station from 7.6.1. to various former versions and back
- Changed channels of the Airport Extreme Base Station
- Connected to AirPort Extreme base station via Ethernet (pages still loading slowly)
- Ran Activity Monitor on my Mac, but found no activities that could cause the Mac to slow down
- Ran Network Utility and sent a ping to google.com, but experienced no traffic loss
At this point I am really running out of ideas on how to solve this. Does anybody have a clue what might cause this?
Best regards,
Georg

HI tzbikowski,
thanks for your message!
I added 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to my DNS server list. This has definitely improved things. Pages are loading quicker now, but it's still far from the speed you would expect. Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say that the cisco settings should be correctly propagated onto LAN? When connecting to the Cisco router through the admin interface, it mentions two different DNS servers that the router appears to use (I guess those are provided by my ISP). Are you referring to these servers?
Thanks!

Pages load slowly - image resolution probs?

i suppose the answer to this is pretty obvious but i'll ask anyway...
my iWeb pages load a bit slowly, and on my iPhone some of them don't even finish loading - they stop before they're done.
i've just checked some of the images - typically they are about 250 pixels square or so and most say they are transparent gifs, and are 43 bytes.
a few are jpegs and are 9000, 12000 or even 15000 bytes. i guess they are the problem?

A 15 kb image file is not very large by any standards. The site loaded quickly for me. However, I have a very fast cable connection. What sort of connection do you have? The largest file on any of the pages is the background image at 316 KB and is the one that seems to load last in any of the pages. You might try optimizing it. Although that's not really big either but could be reduced in file size with some optimization. The welcome site has 36 files it has to load. You can see what they are by bringing up the Activity window in Safari under the Window menu. I took the background image and optimized it in Photoshop and got it down to 72 KB from 416. You can download it by clicking here. It will download as a zipped file so you'll need to unzip it. Give it a try and see if it will improve the load time for you. It's the same for all pages.
Wyodor speaks very highly of Web Site Maestro, a site optimizing program. It has a demo mode that lets you optimize 50% of the files in a site. You might give it a try.
Looks like a terrific house. Wish we had know of it back in 2000 when we stayed in Malaga for a week.

IWeb Pages Load Slowly in Browser

Even since the 1.0 version of iWeb, I noticed that the content rich themes resulted in very slow page loads. So, I decided to choose the most minimalist theme possible -- Modern. Even with the latest version, I still notice that the pages created load quite slowly. Here's a simple page with just a few elements on it:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/
The various layers load at different times, so rather than text appearing on a page, the text appears without a page and then the image layer of the paper shows up later -- kind of ruining the effect of text on a paper.
Previously, the blog directory (main page) would load at an average speed. Now it seems even slower. There are some kind of white borders being placed around the images and this takes a while to apply. I didn't notice these prior to the 2.0 version of iWeb.
So, in general, the density of coding on the pages and inefficient design of the pages, seems to cause them to load slowly. This is a similar problem to what I've heard about with people using Microsoft Word to create HTML pages. The code ends up being very complicated and takes a long time for the browser to interpret. So, many people use programs like Dreamweaver to create the cleanest and simplest code possible for their pages allowing them to load quickly.
Another example of an unnecessarily slow page is my blog archive. It's just text. When it generates, it almost seems like the server is creating the page using a MySQL engine or something like that. One would think that the archive page might be generated into clean HTML at the time of publishing. I looked at the source code, and it isn't pre-generated using basic HTML. It's calling up Java Script routines to generate the page:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Archive.html
Any thoughts on this topic?

How weird, but cool! It's too bad iWeb isn't as smart as you are. Since the site generates much of the coding on the fly at the time of publishing to the web, you would think it could think of a smarter way (like the one you've presented) to generate the page image. For example, the text I typed in on the little notepad begins as me typing text. It ultimately ends up as a graphic image created by iWeb when publishing. So, why not just make the entire page a relatively compact JPG image?
Your suggestion would work great if I wasn't planning on changing the content of my main opening page.
I noticed if I used the fun handwriting font along with others in the same text box, that the entire text box became hundreds (like 300) different images representing the separate text and links on the page -- super inefficient. So, I ended up using the fun handwriting font in a separate text box that gets converted to an image and then another text box of Arial font text:
http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/topics.html
So, that works on those pages. But I wanted the main page to look nice. Oh, also, some of the elements on the page are links. The movie tickets link to a certain page, for example. So, I'd need to create hotspots in the jpg image to accommodate for that.
In any event, I'm still going back to mark this question as solved because I think for most people's situations it would be with the suggestion you made -- use iWeb to design the graphics of a page, and then save it as a JPG.
I suppose I could also use Pages or Keynote to do the same. Once an entire web page is a JPG image, it doesn't matter how it was created.
