BobbleFM.co.uk | Anyway the code could be more efficient?

[Nick.]

Hey,

I own a site, along with Olii and ?..me..?, which is as you will have probably noticed www.BobbleFM.co.uk.

I was wondering, is there anyway the source code could be made any better... sort of like to make it load faster? Or make it more effecient. As it seems to crash my browser every ow and then.

Thanks in Advance,

I think its quite fine actually, loading isnt tht bad but maybe save the images as a lower resoloution, and center the page

[Nick.]

Thanks.

When you say center the page, do you mean put the template in the middle?
And, lower resoloution images??? like from png to gif or soemthing. I'm a PHP dude, Dreamweaver does my HTML and I don't do much graphic work... Lol.

Yes i meant center page, and for image ssave them as jpg, in photoshop at a resoloution 8 or 7

Don't have photo shop, and I thought jpeg took longer to load than gif/png.

Thanks for your help,

Keep the images as .gif, the nature of those graphics means there are only a few colours in each and jpg will just add more data and increase the filesize, you can reduce that by reducing the quality, but that speaks for itself.
The only other things that slow the page down are all the scrolling thingummyjigs and whatever it is you have trying to load that uses quicktime, streaming is a nice idea but not if you want your site to load quickly.

Well, we don't use quicktime, and theres a windows media player bar thing on there for the radio. So I cnt help that.

Thanks,

Thats probably why mine shows as quicktime then (on a mac), but at the end of the day thats one of the causes of your slowdown.

Try and take out any unnessary codes aswell you may off used

[Nick.]

Yeah. Olii Cleaned up the script last week.

Thanks for all your advice,
