Thread: Downloading time

Hi,my website is www.africapaintsgroup.co.za. I know I have a lot of pictures and it will take longer to download. I want to know if there is a way to improve downloading time. I used pix resizer to make my pictures smaller. Does the page size make a difference?

Thanks
Marlize

It's all about the file size, not the actual size. Pixresizer helps to reduce file size.

So the page size wouldn't make a difference? Any other suggestions?

Hi, its an accumulation of all the files on a page that will slow things down. One item you have on the page is the 5 paint brushes on the right adds up to around 600kb. If you place 1 paint brush image in a background of a table set to repeat, this would be brought down to 118kb in total.

Hi Marlize,

try this link to an online jpeg comressor, it may resolve some of your problems.

Pix resizer DOES reduce file size on jpegs, if you know how. Next to the JPEG button is a bar that says "Joint Photographic Experts Group." You can click on that after clicking on the JPEG button to bring up a file size reducer. It's a slider, so you'll want to experiment a bit.

Print Screen + Paste will make it a lot smaller. LOL

Just Joking

Chris, can you explain to me more detail how to do put the picture in the table.

Hi, in BV click on the table button & set the fields to 1,1,0,0,0 & press OK. Now right click on the table & select cell properties. Enter your image in the image field & select repeat in vertical direction from the repeat drop down. Press OK & then pull your table box out to the size you need.


Good luck.
