Homepage Load Times

[Frenchiexno1]

Hi guys would be good to have a check to see if the speed of my homepage loading is ok. I have a slow connection so can't tell to well. Is it ok on your connections??

On highspeed (10MB /s) it's fast but it's not as fast as other resource intensive sites I've been to. I tried to right click on the two images on your home page to see their size but they are flash. I think due to the way your html is prepared, your flash wants to load first before the css background colors, links, and other elements on the page. What happens in your situation is when the flash hasn't loaded yet, the entire page doesn't complete until the flash is finished.

I would fix this by simply using a javascript in your header to parse the flash on the page in between div's. This way your entire page loads quickly and doesn't wait for the flash objects.

Good luck.

it works fine (def under a second for html/css) - the only complaint i have is that the flash takes about 1.5 seconds or so to load (the big one mainly).the rest of the page loads, and theres a white space where the flash file is, and then i see the preloader zoom by. i think your preloader may not be working properly since it seems to be taking too long to even START the preloader.

The whole page takes about 3 seconds to load for my browser (FF), not bad at all (I am in office network).

One thing though, looking through Firebug you have a missing image SkiResorts.jpg.
