Hi,

Can someone give me some suggestions on how to get my home page to load faster, there are these annoying white areas before the graphics load.

Thanks Much!

first of all, since your roll-over nav buttons aren't animated, convert them to jpg. second, too much flash. You don't need it for static images.

WW,

Thanks, the only Flash I believe is the main logo and two studio graphic images, were you refering to those.

Use the image slicer in your graphics programme to cut bigger graphics into smaller pieces so they load faster.

David,

Thanks...I'll look for it in Fireworks.

I can't save the flash files but i have a feeling they are extremely large (just because they loaded very slowly on my 5Mbit line). Besides that i think your server is slow as well. Maybe you should benchmark it. Or if you haven't got that option just upload a 10MB file and let someone download it for you with a fast line (i have access to a T3 line if you want me to benchmark your server). But besides the speed, the server also took ages to even start loading. SO i think you're on a box with to many pages.
