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

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)

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The approach to your portfolio website seems very outdated and will not help you in the near future.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 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.

Issue with site load time when exported as HTML. Addressed?

Has the issue with website load time been addressed?
I believe the site attempts to load the entire image content at the initial visit - meaning any galleries with numerous pictures are all included when first getting to the site. This is causing a HUGE increase in load time. I was told when I last brought it up that it was an apparent issue that needed to be addressed.
Any type of resolution coming?
Site for reference: www.dkrecollection.com

Major updates of Muse are targeted to release roughly every quarter. The 1.0 release was in mid-May. The 2.0 release was in mid-August. A fundamental change to image loading would only appear as part of a major update due to the engineering and testing efforts required.
As provided in your previous thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/4659347#4659347 the only workaround until then is to reduce the number of images in the slideshow.

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?

Safari no longer loads Time Out website

Is this a common failure? I've just updated Flash player, perhaps it's not related, but the website loads perfectly well in Chrome, Firefox etc.
I've reset cache & deleted cookies but still no joy.
I suspect it's a very simple solution, any suggestions?
Other websites appear to load, as normal.
Thanks

Just discovered that if I disable Javascript the webpage loads fine. Unfortunately, other pages then no longer do!!
Still looking for advice!

Slow loading time on my Website

I just installed iWeb last night, and went about building a practice site. I'm finding that loading times are EXTREMELY slow.
http://www.brianutter.net
I've tried to reduce the size on some of my images by exporting from iPhoto and limiting pixel width, as you can see the site is still super slow. I'm wondering if other folks have experience this and have any helpful tips.
Thanks!
PowerBook G4, 1.5, 1gig Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you use command-shift-4, everything in that selected area gets lifted. In the case of the red image, you grab the image, it's reflection AND the white background that's showing through the reflection. If you convert this image to a .jpg and place it over a white background, there's effectively very little difference but you realize a great change in file size.
Change the color of the page's background, and you see the difference immediately. The reflection loses it effect. Instead of being reflected over black as it would be if it were a .png, it still carries the white reflection since that's the color you lifted from the screen capture. You'd have to take the original file, reflect it, and command-shift-4 to copy a new image with the correct colored background. It's not just a white box, it's whatever color box your current background is. This is an old web trick used for when you needed the high quality color of .jpg and the transparency of a .gif. You just created all your graphics as .jpg's such that they give the illusion of having degrees of transparency (like with iWeb's reflections and shadows). Here's an image that is an example of this.
http://images.apple.com/ilife/iweb/images/overview20060111.jpg
the page it's from
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/
Drop that image on any background other than white to see what I mean by "white boxes around images"
On your pages, you've composited the entire background as one big .jpg, so it doesn't apply. This one is particularly nice.
http://web.mac.com/jwtseng/iWeb/kate/Images/puttputt.jpg
Make the .jpg match the page background, and it doesn't require a series of .png's!

Long load times

I am trying to edit a page and I only have a css page which is local linked to the page. It only affects me when trying to work in split or design view. I hav tried disabling the linked files thing and I have tried this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/887/cpsid_88742.html also, but I am still getting this long time. It seems to only affect the load time when I have the following in my head tag;
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css"/>
It also slows the performance drastically, If I type the letter "D" then deleete that letter it will freeze up for a for a short period of time. I can not have this when trying to create websites for clients. Any help would be appreciated.

Data Load Times, etc.

Hello Forums:
I saw this website:
http://www.s-w-h.com/index.php?language=en
And found that a website like this loaded very quickly, and
seemed to fit almost all resolution.
I was wondering how did they make it fit dynamically? And how
did they manage to reduce load times so significantly?
I kinda wondered if it's possible to develop a massive forum
or online community thing using purely Flash. Would that be
possible? What if there were lots of user interaction, can the load
times be significantly cut down?

Does it load all the data while connected with 5GHz frequency… What is the IP address that you are getting from the Router? You can check the IP address in the following manner:
If you wish to find out your own IP address, you should run the same ms-dos prompt by clicking Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" … There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type “IP address of Default Gateway” that will open up the Router setup page…
# In that page itself make the MTU size to 1400 from Auto….
# Make the following Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11.. Click Save Settings...
Then check the connectivity…

Load times seem long

This is my first website I'm doing completely in Edge Animate, which I love, by the way.
http://www.mercerhrs.com/marcomm_world/index.html
It seems that between pages, the load time seems a bit longer then I'm used to. If you click on some of the buildings, say "CommLab" or "Resource Group", it seems to take a bit longer then I'd like to load.
Any suggestions? Can I preload all the javascript when a user hits the home page?

Humm - no lag here at all - in fact, very nice and smooth transitions.
Nice graphics, by the way.

Adobe Edge Animate JavaScript Coding issues/page load time speeds

To let you have an idea of my skill set I have a background in animation and design and have been taking classes in web development. My question is about how to create an interactive website that loads various animation depending on the user's choice and current place within the Adobe Edge Animate timeline. The website I developed for a client @ www.goshowpro.com works but loads slower than I want and doesn't format properly on my client's Macbook (I believe he needs to update his browsers but that is something else.)
So as you can see from looking at my website I used a multitude of HTML files to create my vision of an interactive website based off of a theatrical stage. I know this is not an ideal method. I would prefer to have it all on one page but I am having trouble with my javascript coding. I was wondering if there would be away to expedite my current site's load time and if not if you could look at my NEW coding. (This IS NOT the current coding on the site.)
if = "hstop" "chomstop" "shomstop" "phomstop"
{sym.play("hporstart")};
else = "hconstop" "sconstop" "pconstop"
{sym.play("cporstart")};
else = "hserstop" "cserstop" "pserstop"
{sym.play("sporstart")};
It looks crappy but I'm trying to learn so don't laugh too much. Thanks again.
Michael

Hi, Marlene-
We currently bundle jQuery 1.7.1 with the Animate runtime. In order to call fadeOut() on the element newSquare, you would do the following:
sym.$("newSquare").fadeOut();
OR
sym.getSymbol("newSquare").getSymbolElement().fadeOut();
Hope that helps!

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();

Optimization on Load Time (Large Images and Sounds)

Hi,
I have an all flash website that works by having each portion of it to load and unload in the center of a frame based off the navigation chosen. Load times on everything but one part of my site are ok.
The dimensions of the part inside the frame are 968x674. I know that's relatively large for a flash file, but that can't be changed at this point.
Within the page there are objects that come up when you find an item on the screen. Its a dialog box and it shows text, an image, and has a voice over that reads what the text says. After you're done looking at it, there is an x-button to dismiss the window. There are 15 of these and they are exported to the actionscript. I add them in the actionscript via addChild. I figured this is a huge spot that could be reconfigured, but I'm not sure if it would make much a difference.
The other huge thing is there is a ton on the screen. It starts you off in an environment, and when you click 3 different sections, it zooms into that portion allowing you to look for the items you're trying to find.
There is also a man that talks and animates in the beginning and at the end. We are planning on taking out the end part and putting a text box up.
Here is the website.. its a propane safety site for kids. I know its kind of a weird idea, but it works and people seem to like it.
www.propanekids.com
The two parts of the site we are trying to optimize is the main menu when you first are at the site, and the "Explore" section. (Just click on the cloud on the front page.
If someone could take the time to give me some new ideas of how I can get these loading times down, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Windows Compatibility (IE) / Load Time / PNG Files

I host my website on Mobile Me and have had several Windows users look at my site complaining about load time and scrolling issues (up and down the frame is jumpy). I have heard that some older versions of IE cannot work with PNG files very well. I suppose this "may" be the issue. Any thoughts on how to get the web site working more smoothly for those people on Windows using IE? Also, some Firefox users have stated they too have issues when viewing via a Windows a system. Thanks...

Hi!
yeah I initially went through some pains in getting my music to play back under IE as well
www.mafmusic.net
first, post your website
i will then it on my computer (a dual quad core mac pro) and my wife's macbook pro
using both firefox and safari
i also have a pc here (piece of crap) that i can use to test it using ie if you wish
or ask my friends
to test it
i am almost retiring, but have been working from our home for the past few years on a pc
i do database design and data analysis
let me know what you think
about these suggestion
take care and good luck
ps if you like music go to my site and let me know what you like, etc
am open to suggestions

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.
