Thank you very much.

I am not trying to pimp my site, I just want to get some reaction to the speeds while i still have the option to cancel. I have dealt with so many crappy hosts, just want to make sure I got a good one this time.

Photos load quick, but main page doesn't link to anything.

Pretty fast for me :)

It comes up fast with cable, but you might reduce the image sizes to around 100KB for those without it.

First time I loaded each pic, it would come up in less than 2 seconds. You might want to post up a really large picture so that you can do some throughput measurements. With the 200k pics, it is difficult to time. Put up a nice big 10-15 meg TIFF file and we can then time it better

There is nothing past the front page :p sites not done yet.

Thanks, what speed is your ISP?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I'm actually at work on a high speed LAN (T1, T3, who knows!)... didn't think of that when I answered :rolleyes:

The golden rule is that no webpage should be over 100k in size. Many people still use dial-up. My wife, for example, uses a Verizon dial-up card in her laptop when she wishes to look something up and she's not able to access a wifi network. That gives a 14.4k connection speed. Even with patience, 100k takes a while. By my calculation, 100k (819200 bits) will take about a minute to load. Your website has to cater for that kind of speed. This is why I would suggest instead of putting a big image on a page you put text and clickable thumbnails instead.

File took 28.4 seconds. I'm running a bit slow today, just over 5 meg download and I'm usually betweem 8 and 11, but still not too bad.

from what I am hearing seems like it should be a decent host. Thanks all!

Was fast for me too. On dial up it could be slow though...but who does dial up these days!;)
