Fixing Slow Loading Webpages
Template is loading very slowly:
This can be caused by many different types of things. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:
- PROBLEM: Slow hosting. This may be a problem on only one day or perhaps this is a more serious hosting problem.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Perhaps wait a day to see if this changes.
B. Contact your hosting company to have them check your account.
C. Switch to Allwebco Hosting.
- PROBLEM: Large images. You may not have made you images as small as possible or you saved them at high quality.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Make your images smaller in pixel size.
B. Save your .jpg images at a lower quality.
C. Be sure your images are really the size displayed on the pages.
D. Try your images as a .gif or as a .jpg to compare the sizes.
E. Check your pages at NetMechanic.
- PROBLEM: Too many graphics.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Try removing some of the images on the pages.
B. Make your images smaller.
D. Check your pages at NetMechanic.
- PROBLEM: Items missing. Perhaps you have not uploaded all the page areas. If any are missing this may slow a site down.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Check your pages in other browser software and view the status bar.
B. Check your pages at NetMechanic.
- PROBLEM: Bad scripts, Flash, links or applications. If you have added items like scripts to a template this may cause problems.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Test each script individually for speed.
B. Find another version of the script you are using.
C. A linked banner or graphic from another site may cause speed problems.
D. Remove some scripts.
- PROBLEM: Bad HTML code. You may have an HTML error on a page.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Check your pages for HTML errors. Click here for HTML Validator Lite
- PROBLEM: Large Flash files. The Flash files included in Allwebco templates have the entire font set embedded in the files. If you changed a font but not all the fonts this may add a second embedded font. The average .swf logo file will be around 35k in size.
SOLUTIONS:
A. Be sure you use only one font style if you have edited the .fla files.
B. Un-link the flash.txt and hard code the text in the Flash. Details.
C. Have Allwebco hard code this for you for a $12.00 charge.
D. Use the graphic logo option included in all template models.
NOTE: Hard coding the text into the Flash may reduce the file size as much as 70%.
