Slow website loading time.

ok here's the problem, some websites for me take a really long time for me to load for some reason such as roosterteeth or at times myspace, when i try to load them up on firefox it says that it's loading 'google-analytics' and some other crap like that and it takes forever! and i just tried loading them on my mom's computer and they load near instantaneously so i was wondering what the **** is wrong with my machine?! and i would be very grateful if anyone could help me.

Try this:
The following usually works on both Tiger and Leopard:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070416000657464
Many, including me, have also followed the advice given by others here to add DNS codes to their Network Settings, with good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.

Slow page loading / Time outs

Hi guys,
I am getting very slow page loading times. This only started to happen today, before this my connection has been solid.
I have reset the router, all the other PCs in my house are having the same problem. I am not running any P2P/Downloading software.
Speedtest says I am connected at 12MBPs. It takes me a very long time to load a page and most of the time they just time out.
Router stats -
ADSL settings
VPI/VCI 0/38
Type PPPoA
Modulation ITU-T G.992.5
Latency type Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up) 3.6 dB / 5.7 dB

Flip4Mac Beta, Slow WMV load time?

Just wondering if anyone else who is using Flip4Mac Beta Universal is experiencing slow load time when loading a WMV movie file. I loaded a 1920x1200 606MB video file and that might be why. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing slow WMV load time.

Like you I've noticed that when working with larger media files it'll slow down loading and other aspects. Especially moving through said files by fast forward/reverse.
I wouldn't exactly call it too bad though. QT native files get slowed down the larger they are too.
Don't forget it's still a Beta.

Mail has 16k messages, and performance is very slow, with loading times taking up to 5 seconds every time I open Mail. How can I increase performance?

One possible solution would be to organise your inbox into folders.
Its never relly good on any system to have one folder that has everything in it.
Try going to you web gui for that mail account and organise your folders and move mails from your inbox into corresponding folders for better organisation.
Several folders containing the same amount of one folder will usually load a little quicker as the folder may not be accessed to download its content unless veiwed.
So having 10 folders with organised content, and you inbox as an area thats to hold only new emails would work much much quicker with imap.
Most imap servers will only update the contents of a folder when its veiwed.

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 BIOS load times

Hello, I own a T420i and have been experiencing very slow load times on startup. The "ThinkPad" BIOS screen stays active for roughly 5-10min before continuing like normal. Once operational the computer works fine other then an occasional freeze up (which becomes extremely annoying with a boot time of 10 min).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Epitome, welcome to the forums,
do you have any external devices, especiall USB storage, attached to the system when booting? If so please detach them to see if you experience the same problem.
If the system boots normally please exclude the USB devices from the boot order in BIOS; the system may be scanning them for boot information before moving on to start from the main hard drive.

J2SE 5.0 plugin and slow applet load time

Folks,
I have an applet (https), with about 5 MB of jar files. After we
moved to J2SE 5.0, the load time seems much slower. It used to load in
40 seconds. Now it loads in 4 min.
An odd thing I noticed is when I minimize my Internet Explorer window,
the applet seems to start up quickly again.
Is this possibly related to the "starburst logo" progress bar
animation that Sun now uses for applet start ups? I know that
animated gifs can sometimes chew up quite a bit of cpu time.
I think the progressbar property is no longer in 5.0
I'm running on a single proc laptop. When I run it on my 2 proc
server, it is not as obvious, and startup time seems reasonable.
Thanks,
Rob

I'm also seeing a similar slow applet startup time. CPU is 100% (IE is in high 90s). Works ok on my 3GHz P4, but is very slow (up to 16 minutes) on 400 MHz P2.
My problem seems to be related to how my .properties files (23 total, for internationalization support) are handled.
During start-up in JRE 1.5 I see the following for each .properties file:

The file (1 of 23) I supply is named fax.properties (the default file). Since my locale setting are English/US I guess the I18N code is trying to figure out if the regional files are present. Each of these requests is timing out 5-8 seconds for each - it builds up quickly.
I haven't been able to find out why this is happening or resolve the issue. I'm close to restricting my applet to only 1.4.2 as that was fine and posting this as a bug.

Broadband + Slow Safari Load Time speed tweek

Give this a go to see if it improves your slow loading Safari.
* QUIT Safari before typing these commands into terminal
To add this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 0.001
To remove this speedup behaviour:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitInitialTimedLayoutDelay 1.0
Launch Safari again and give it a go. If not helpful, quit and enter the last line given above to remove the behaviour.

If this is a wizard generated form, was there any modification made ?. The jbInit
code by default sets up the InfoProducer objects. The ApplicationModule is then
created and queries executed when the publisSession method is called on the SessionInfo
object. This publishSession by default happens after the jbInit code. I would imagine
the publishSession method to take more time in comparision to jbInit code which
typically instantiates the UI elements and creates your form. Is there any other
setup that happens in jbinit ?.
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs
(which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation. Could you provide more info., on what you mean by navigation ?. Is is the setup of
the navigation bar and menu you are referring to ?.

Slow initial load time - URGENT

I created some business component forms in jdeveloper 3.2.3. For some reason, it takes 15 seconds to load any of the forms for the first time (afterwards, it only takes 2 seconds). I get the same timings regardless of the number of rowsets I use.
It takes 15 secs for a screen with 1 rowset and for a screen with 5 rowsets. It also is slow running in jdeveloper and in production.
That is unacceptable for my end users (they are ready to reject the project because of it).
If I remove the jbInit call from the program, the load time goes down to 5 secs (which would probably be acceptable), but then I lose the navigation.
Is there any way to speed up the initial load?
TIA.

Slow image load time in web browsers. My images load too slowly.

Hi, My images are loading slowly in my site. They are png and all under 600kb. Should they be jpegs (they are photos) Can anyone advise?

I would do a few tests, I think you might be fine with the High setting, but also try a little lower if you can to conserve load time. It would be good to get your files to around 120kb each.
A .jpeg file is the way to go, as .png files tend to be 20-40% larger.
Here is an image that is set to 730x486- saved as Medium - Quality 50 - jpeg - final size 99 kb

Slow website loading

How do I improve response time for loading websites on Ipad 2? It is operating very slow.

Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Slow song load times

Hey guys, I just got the shuffle, and i loaded it up for the first time (I checked hte option to convert high bitrate songs to 128k AAC so i can fit more songs on it) and it took 5 hours to load the 512 mb shuffle! Why is it so slow? My computer has USB 2.0, and all other storage devices take minutes to fill, why does it take so long for the shuffle to fill up? Is it because of the AAC option? will unchecking it speed it up a good 4 hours? thanks

Hey there!
I've got exactly the same problem.
Could you fix it in the meantime?
Thanks for answering,
John

Slow Slow Slow page loading times using Iweb......

I used Iweb to create a photo gallery / web site and it loads very slow...I expect the images to load slowly but even the text hangs up a bit. It is worse on IE and the layout is messed up on Firefox....is there a way to make a website created on I-web uniform for all browsers and of course load and unload faster? I have cut my image files down in half ...they are about 400-600 kB (JPG) each but they still load slow...not to mention an annoying white block where the image and text is loading?? Any help from a seasoned I-web vet?

Hi,
I faced same troubles. Read through my thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1131543

Website loading time?

One important factor about the time a website needs to load is the data that need to be loaded. Is there any way to see this using the dashboard or something?
For a simple website what is the avg size of data so I can keep it below that number in order to have my site loading fast.
Thank you in advance

Hi Marios,
Business catalyst keeps a track of monthly bandwidth used on your site, however, you will not be able to use that tracking to notice a load of 2-3 Mbs. Your best bet would be to get familiar with the developers tool. Here a screen shot of firebug for any random site, http://prntscr.com/3pztae

Ultra slow project load time

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and can point me to the solution.
After capturing 40+ hours of footage in a new project (log and capture only), every time I try to load the project it's a 10-minute affair.
I'm wondering if I'm low on memory (see 3GB and other specs below) or if it's my Firewire 800 LaCie drive. All the clips are either HDV or DV (NTSC), so nothing out of the ordinary.
If I need more memory, I'll get it. Just want to identify the problem and not throw money at random solutions. Any help would be appreciated.

Well...I broke. After waiting 20 minutes for the project to load up (for about the 25th time), only to do 'spinning beachball' every time I try to work with the project, I've decided to start the capture over again Hello, 40 hours of re-do capture time.
This time, all project files and media will be captured/stored on my CalDigit S2VR Duo drive (thanks Shane for the nice review and why I went this direction instead of G-Tech). Hopefully, this problem won't rear it's ugly head again on the new striped RAID drive.
I can only assume that it's one of two things: (1) I had some bad media in the whole mess and it's freezing the system when trying to access the project and relink video clips/files or (2) maybe the LaCie drive is on it's last leg. I don't know, but in the long run, it may take just as long (with the frozen state of the project) to figure it out as it will to recapture.
I will post back with an update once I've reached the 'old' video capture point on the new project file (on the new drive).
And before someone asks, the Media Manager was working just as slowly as the loading of the project, making it impossible to try and re-capture the project onto the new drive through FCP.
