Default Is my site slow loading?

I've had my site for review up here before so I hope nobody minds this repeitition. It's just that while trying to put the word out on my site on other forums some people have been saying its slow loading. It doesn't seem so for me even when I clear out the cache. I do have two large graphics on the front but I optimized them so it would be great if you could let me know! Thanks in advance!

Yes, at least on a dial-up the page does take its own sweet time to load. All your images are still very large when it comes to file-size. Also there are too many tables used which also slows load time. So the code also needs to be looked at.

I loads fast enough for me on a DSL connection.

Btw, if you want to check how fast/slow your server's response is, check it with SiteUptime - Website Monitoring Service.

Not for me. DSL of 3Mbps down.

You might find this Speed Report http://www.websiteoptimization.com/s....bigkudos.com/ to be useful.

Your top banner is 56KB. It represents 80% of the total in images. Try reducing it.

I also noticed that you are serving up Google ads. If Google is "having a bad day" then your site will take longer to load. This is beyond your control.
