I made an earlier post but deleted it as I figured no one would read it with my name as the last poster…..hehehehe….. 😳 .
In any case – I have access to for computers with dial-up and DSL – here are some findings:
P3/98/IE6/dial-up – 41 seconds load up for full page and 31 seconds for the simpler page.
P4/xp/IE6/DSL – 37-42 seconds load up for full page and 24 seconds for the simpler page.
P2/98/IE5/DSL – 29 seconds for full page and 16 seconds for simpler page…..WTF!
Three other sites I visit have load times of 10 seconds, 7 seconds and 4 seconds (for the 10,000 member extreamly complicated PC Guide web site).
I must assume the delay is partly the complexity of the page coupled with your server’s processor/soft wear/memory. So the only recourse (since you stated that you can not have a dedicated server) would be the simplified page. I navigate to my favorite forum by making it a favorite on Windows and simply going there.
Ok – this may help members to some degree but the slow loading page would remain for the lurkers.
