Slow loading

    I have been posting articles twice a month to the Imagineer’s Chronicles for close to three years and have internally linked different articles with related subjects together. However I have recently noticed that those internal links take an extremely long time to load form the main page at << http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/ >> while a link on an individual page such as<< http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/?p=2290 >>load much faster most of the time.

    I have a lot of videos that are set to auto load and was wondering if it would make a difference if I change that to a manual setting.

    Many of my individual articles have a good search engine rating.

    For example if one Google’s “Define Time” Sept 7 2007 that article appears as number one out of 12,000,000 << http://www.google.com/search?q=defining+time&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=1&startPage=1&rlz=1I7SNCA_en >>

    However, I am not getting many new subscribers. I think one of reason may be because the slow loading of the links could be discouraging subscribers.

    I would appreciate suggestions on how to improve the performance of this site.

    Thanks Jeff

    Well, yes, you’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head. You’ve got about 9 videos autoloading on the home page, and between them they’re automatically trying to pull down over 210mb of video files, just to finish loading ONE page. The web isn’t quite ready for that I’m afraid (give it a few years…)

    Stop autoloading them – speed your page load times up, make the users browser less sluggish and reduce your bandwidth consumption by massive amounts.

    Thanks Friend

    I’ll go back and change from auto to manual load and then reload them to our site.
