The services page at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designengineering/services.html">http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designeng ... vices.html</a><!-- m --><br />
takes over 100 seconds to load. I want limit the load time to a maximum of ten seconds.<br />
<br />
Please help.<!--content-->It's more like 10 seconds on my machine (with ADSL broadband). From the looks of things, the only major slowdown is that image on the right - at 461Kb, it's by far the largest file loaded. Try compressing it with a good image editor.<br />
<br />
Adam<!--content-->I checked my html settings through <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlhelp.com">http://www.htmlhelp.com</a><!-- m --><br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://valet.webthing.com/page/">http://valet.webthing.com/page/</a><!-- m -->, and <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.netmechanic.com/toolbox/html-code.htm">http://www.netmechanic.com/toolbox/html-code.htm</a><!-- m -->. />
All suggest that the html codes are valid.<br />
<br />
Netmechanic suggests that I am using a large Download <!--more--> time with services.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, I want to make the pages look good at 1024x768 display settings. So far, it only looks good at 800x600. <br />
<br />
This is from me moving my display setting in control panel and viewing the page at 1024x768.<!--content-->My images are currently at 72 px/inch. The image of Checkers at Clinton Plaza is 300 x 400. What px/inch resolution can help resolve my load time?<!--content-->Don't worry about the pixel/inch, instead lower the quality.<br />
<br />
When you save an image as JPEG it asks you what quality you wish to save it as. No doubt this is at 10 (being the best). My suggestion is to lower it until you can't stand it no longer. I think you should at least get to 7 with no noticeable change, perhaps less than that.<br />
<br />
Brandon<!--content-->The definitive validator is at validator.w3.org (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmywebpages.comcast.net%2Fdesignengineering%2Fservices.html">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... vices.html</a><!-- m -->), where you will see your pages are fine except for a missing charset and a few alt tags.<br />
<br />
To make your page look good at different resolutions, you need to use a flowing layout with CSS - search the forums for more information.<br />
<br />
I don't know what the best px/inch resolution would be, but for JPEG files you can control the level of compression with an image editor (I use Ulead PhotoImpact).<br />
