Download Times*

*Note that these download times are based on the full connection rate for ISDN and T1 connections. Modem connections (56Kbps or less) are corrected by a packet loss factor of 0.7. All download times include delays due to round-trip latency with an average of 0.2 seconds per object. With 63 total objects for this page, that computes to a total lag time due to latency of 12.6 seconds. Note also that this download time calculation does not take into account delays due to XHTML parsing and rendering.

Page Objects

# This site is not using HTTP compression, otherwise called content encoding using gzip. Consider compressing your textual content (XHTML, JavaScript, etc.) with mod_gzip or similar products.

* CSS alternate stylesheets may be referenced in the HTML but are not actually downloaded until they are needed and are therefore not included in the total page size.

Analysis and Recommendations

• TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 63 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
• TOTAL_IMAGES - Warning! The total number of images on this page is 57 , consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
• TOTAL_SIZE - Warning! The total size of this page is 273887 bytes, which will load in 54.59 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider contacting us about our optimization services.
• TOTAL_SCRIPT - Caution. The total number of external script files on this page is 5 , consider reducing this to one or two. Combine, refine, and optimize your external script files. Ideally you should have one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages.
• HTML_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this HTML file is 62740 bytes, which is above 20K but below 100K. With a 10K ad and a logo this means that your page will load in over 8.6 seconds. Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary features. To give your users feedback, consider layering your page or using positioning to display useful content within the first two seconds.
• IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 161435 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.
• SCRIPT_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your scripts is 49712 bytes, which is over 4K. Consider optimizing your scripts for size, combining them, and using compression where appropsiate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents.
