 * 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/](http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/)
   >> while a link on an individual page such as<< [http://www.theimagineershome.com/blog/?p=2290](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](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.
