Speeding up website loading

I have created a new website with a video gallery in AS3 and am trying to speed up the loading of the page for this as currently it pauses before appearing on the page. I have tried to get all the movies down to as low a size as possible but still it doesn't fly in straight away.
The video gallery is loaded via an external swf so would this have anything to do with it at all?
The web address is as follows and the sections taking time to appear are 'portfolio' and 'websites etc.'

Any help would be much appreciated.

You landing page is more than 1MB, portfolio page is 9.5 MB - of course it takes noticeable time for them to load. There is not much you can do as far as progressive flvs are concerned if you want to preload them. Load would be much more streamlined if you used images of the first frames for video thumbnails and started playback only on roll over.

Slow Load speed of websites

I am having trouble with the website load speed on My 2010 Mac. The page load is very slow and 30% of the time the page will not load at all. Looking for what I can change on the Mac or if it is my ISP.

First thing to do is reset the modem and router. If necessary do hard resets, you will need the manuals on both devices to know how to do that. Because "slow" is a relative term you may need to do more digging. If it was once fast and the resets do not help then download and install iStumbler (Google it) and look to see if you are competing with your neighbors for a Wi-Fi channel. Let iStumbler run about 30 minutes and check to see what channel you and the neighbors are using. If you see you're competing with some neighbors change the router's channel to one not being used.

I can't connect to the itunes store and have some problems with other websites. Some websites load OK. I had the same problem on my iPad and changed the DNS, but don't want to do this on my iMac, anyway, surely I should have my router's DNS?

I can't connect to the iTunes store from my iMac and have problems loading a number of other websites, however some websites load perfectly well. I have had the iTunes store issue on my iPad and resolved it by changing the DNS but surely I should use the DNS for my router. I don't really want to change it for the iMac as I access secure sites with it to internet shop.
Any ideas, I was going to try loading Chrome but can't get it without going through the iTunes store. Anyway, that is treating the symprom not the cause.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57338784-263/free-dnscrypt-tool-enhances-ma c-web-security/?tag=mncol;txt
and here:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

Published website loads in layers

My website loads in layers, but I do not have very many pictures on my pages, so the problem shouldn't be that I have too many pictures. It also isn't loading slowly, persay, it just loads layer by layer, so it looks weird. The site is

Your web site loads pretty good in Safari with a broadband connection.
To speed it up more, and to get it to load in IE, you should consider optimizing your files if you don't already do so....

How can I speed up the load time?

My website is completed and I am happy with everything.
Everything except the time it takes to load. All the images have
been optimized. What can I do to speed up the load time?

Typically, your budget is around 50k for the first page,
total including
all external files. When you add up all the external files
you have used,
like images, Flash, external JavaScript, etc., you have 98
separate HTTP
requests in that page. Just looking at the headers, you have
about 80k in
requests and responses, not even counting the actual files.
Browsers are limited to just a few simultaneous streams, so
most of your
files wind up having to wait until the prior files download.
Included among your 98 requests, you have these six files
that each
individually exceed that total budget:
headerLinked.swf 2,621,578 bytes
2007_fishing_video_web.flv 95,989,898 bytes
2008_aoy_graphic.png 65,582 bytes
jensen_beach.png 59,105 bytes
liquid_fire_logo_new.png 142,277 bytes
DanSchaad.png 379,111 bytes
Your entire total is 99,816,652 bytes. I've put a complete
breakdown here:
http://testing.apptools.com/newsgroup/liquidfire.php
Files are requested from the server in the order they are
encountered in
the source code. They are displayed in the linked page in the
order in
which they are requested. You can see that some of the huge
files are
requested fairly early in the sequence. That means that those
files and
their extended download times are occupying streams and
preventing other
files from being downloaded more quickly.
My suggestion would be to really trim down the content on the
page. Break
it up into several pages. Dump the huge Flash movie at the
top of the
page. Optimize the four .png's above.

Want to prevent pictures from loading in order to speed up page loading.

In order to minimize data usage and to speed up page loading, I can get by with text only. No pictures required.
Any way to do this in a "global" way?
Thank you

You can disable images completely by setting permissions.default.image to 2 on the <b>about:config</b> page.
Note that this can cause issues with buttons that are a background image.

Problem with Website loading

How can I fix my Macbook Pro's website loading? It will not connect to the AppStore or load sites such as Netflix, CNN, Apple, NY times, etc. Other sites however work perfectly. I have updated all Silverlight, Java, and Adobe, deleted Caches and Cookies as well as restarted wireless router and computer. What else can I try?
(I recently ran updates on my computer, which may have been the source of all this. Can I undo Apple updates if necessary? Would that cause this problem??)

The JavaScript on that site isn't compatible with Firefox because document.all is used instead of document.getElementById();

Can i set particular website loading slow?

i need to set some website loading too slow , is it possible ?

Hi, if one site is slow to load try Ctrl + F5. If that doesn't do it, open Options (cog wheel) - in the 3-bar menu unless you've moved it, > Advanced tab (Network tab) > Cached Web Content > Clear Now.
Hope that helps.

How to speed up the loading of live data into flash file.

My website loads slow in Firefox

Hello,
I'm using Firefox 13.0.1 and it works great on other websites.
But my own website is loading slow..
Any idea what can be the problem please?
The website is fast in IE.. So it's not a problem with the website.

It's not only on my pc
All firefox users are complaining that the website loads very slow.

The website loads after a long time.

I am using Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical 1.0 . My version of Ubuntu is 12.01 . The problem is, that websites load very slowly. I have never had that problem before. It appeared suddenly. Other web browsers work fine on the same computer. I have not installed anything recently. I checked my computer for viruses and malware, but found nothing.
I have also checked my Firefox on Windows 7. There is the same problem.
Could you give me a hint on what I should do, please?
Best regards,
Dawid Grabarek

Were there any network.http prefs changed in that previous profile if you check the prefs.js file or a possible user.js file if you still have the Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop?

Pogo website loads and displays but cannot open games; works fine on Internet Explorer.

For about two weeks now, have been unable to open games on the Pogo website; the main page opens but cannot open any games.
All works just fine on IE9.
No work on 8.0.1; installed 9.0.1---still no work as described above.

Surely, am not the only one who cannot load games on Pogo.com. . . .the website loads in but I get a "connection reset" type message each and every time I attempt to load any game. W7Pro 64-bit Dell Studio XPS i7core. Was properly working in F8 and then just stopped doing so; upped to F9 but still have same problem.
Ideas, anyone?
BTW, Pogo works just fine in IE9.

Why won't website load

There is a website that used to load perfectly on my macbook at home and one day it just stopped loading. It stalls--it just says waiting for www.***.com to load and nothing happens. Here are the facts
1) The website loads on my iPad perfectly well at home.
2) The website loads on my Macbook on other networks
3) It won't load in any browser I try at home--safari, chrome, firefox. I try other pages on the website, not just the main landing page, and they won't load.
4) I deleted my network from my macbook and reloaded it and that did not fix it.
I am pretty ignorant technically, so please make suggestions accordingly.
Thanks in advance for help

Rather not.
The site still loads on my computer on other wifi systems than my home's. It loads on my iPad at home. It used to load on my computer at home, but just stopped.

Website loads then screen goes blank

When I access a certain website (eyetube.net), the website loads and displays for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes blank. All software has been updated and Java latest version has been updated.

Seems to work fine here, but it's possible that the Flash-based ads on the site are causing the problem for you. Try installing ClickToFlash, which will block all Flash content unless you choose to load it, and see if that fixes it.
