For some reason, the picture of my house in the sidebar was one of the slowest items to load, even though I trimmed the file size way down. So it's gone.

Those changes cut the load time from 12 seconds to four, which I hope makes everyone happy! I miss my house pic, though, so maybe I'll work on a banner and put it there instead.
Happy browsing!
(Edit: On second thought, yeah, the page seems naked without the house pic. I'm leaving it there for now. Cutting down n the number of posts per page should be sufficient. But I'm still considering a new banner.)
That house pic is too cool to go. Definitely into the banner if you can make it work!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed that it was slow. But I think I had better cut down on the number of posts I put per page, too, because I tend to use big photos in mine.
ReplyDeleteI would hate to not see your house there in the sidebar.
I always condense my photos before loading them, as it seems to really speed up the loading time.
ReplyDeleteDon't lose the house! I love the house!
I hadn't noticed it was slow. And I'm glad you left the photo of your house. I really love how colorful it's painted and I think someday I'd like to live in a red house.
ReplyDeleteevery little bit counts....or doesnt count as the case may be....
