Web Page Speed Report – WebSiteOptimization.com: “Analysis and Recommendations
A report on the index page of this weblog . . .
TOTAL_OBJECTS – Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 23 – consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
TOTAL_IMAGES – Warning! The total number of images on this page is 20, consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.
TOTAL_CSS – Congratulations, the total number of external CSS files on this page is 1. Because external CSS files must be in the HEAD of your HTML document, they must load first before any BODY content displays. Although they are cached, CSS files slow down the initial display of your page.
TOTAL_SIZE – Warning! The total size of this page is 187665 bytes, which will load in 42.00 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider contacting us about our optimization services.
TOTAL_SCRIPT – Congratulations, the total number of external script files on this page is 1. External scripts are less reliably cached than CSS files so consider combining scripts into one, or even embedding them into high-traffic pages.
HTML_SIZE – Warning! The total size of this HTML page is 115134 bytes, which is over 100K! Consider optimizing your HTML and eliminating unnecessary content and features.
IMAGES_SIZE – Warning! The total size of your images is 65522 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.
SCRIPT_SIZE – Caution. The total size of your scripts is 2287 bytes, which is above 1160 bytes and less than 4K. Consider optimizing your scripts and eliminating features to reduce this to a more reasonable size.
CSS_SIZE – Caution. The total size of your external CSS is 5169 bytes, which is above 1160 bytes and less than 8K. For external files, try to keep them less than 1160 bytes to fit within one higher-speed TCP-IP packet (or an approximate multiple thereof). Consider optimizing your CSS and eliminating features to reduce this to a more reasonable size.”
Some valid points here. Need to give this some thought . . .
