I put my InstantPro website to NetMechanic to check loading times and was very disappointed with the results. The home page took 7.2 secs. @ 2Mpps and 48.46 secs. @ 56Kbps. What stood out in particular was the time taken by the banner which Netmechanic said was 171.87Kb. and simply must be reduced. Right clicking on the image on the webpage confirms this size.
When starting to build the site I had tried "Breeze", one of the samples, to gauge the effect of a banner, although I intended to replace it with a photo of my own. The pic. I finally uploaded was 41.8Kb after cropping, size reducing and compacting. How then has it increased 4-fold? The HTML shows the banner as "Breeze", not my photo number. Is this, somehow, the answer?
But if so, it doesn't account for many other images I have checked on other pages. Two I uploaded at 37.2Kb and 38.7Kb show up as 385Kb and 362.75Kb respectively. 10-fold increase! Not only do they all differ from what I uploaded, but what is stranger is that some increase in size and others decrease.
What is going on?
My site is www.hedera.ukpc.net, although you have only my word for the fact that the pics. change size in mid-air before landing.
Help, somebody.
Thanks.
