    Your page loaded quite fast for me. I have a cable connection.
    Some of your "Alt Tags" are blank.

    Thanks Terry, for looking at my site.... I am on satalite and it is rather slow.... considering that I don't have a lot on that main page....my concern being that if it is so slow at loading, customers would go somewhere else.... not that I have any customers....and what do you mean saying my alt tags are blank... I am new at all this and I have Parkinson's Terry so it can take me a while to figure it all out.
    Thanks for taking the time Terry. Lou.

    Your page is a relatively small size, most people shouldn't have an issue (That is to say if they have an issue with their site they will everyone else's as well).

    alt is an attribute for images (alt as in alternate). Generally you would enter the text of an image (if it has any text, if not then what the image is).

    Well, I see one BIG problem. If you open the page in BV, scroll down past the end of your page and to the right--there are more than a dozen images stacked up randomly there.

    Haa! Finally beat you by a step!

    Pippy, if you can't scroll down your BV page to see this stuff, you need to go to Page Properties (I think it is) to increase the page height measurement.

    You need to check your page width......your page should be no more than 1000 wide at the most. Create your page in the top left hand corner of the work area, then right click in an open area and check the "center in browser window" box. The pics that Tom is talking about are way over on the right side, and may be why your page looks like it is slow. Go back ti the saved page and clean off all those extra pics and adjust the width and then save and publish again. It looks like your home page is the only one that is too wide.
