RE: Slow pages (MS FrontPage 2002...)

Your HTML page is over 42K; that's several seconds on a modem.  And that
doesn't include graphics & Flash animation, which the page is peppered
with.

1. Reduce the number of random quotes.  Maybe replace it with a statuc
quote that is manually change weekly.  Or have the quote be generated on
the server and 'stuffed' into the html prior to serving the page.  Do
whatever else you can to get the HTML size under about 30K.

2. Web-optimize the graphics.  JPG/GIF/PNGs with as few colors as
needed.

3. Trim/kill the news feed.

4. Reduce/Eliminate the Flash.

5. If maintaining two sites is do-able, eliminate the dual-language in
favor of an entry page where people choose what language they would like
to see the site in.

6. Convert to a text-based web counter to eliminate that graphic.

Hi all!

Sorry for this question because is no related to an AS400/ISeries,
unless I have a better option...

I need your evaluation/recommendations on a website I am developing for
my church.  The speed is acceptable when using cable/DSL but very slow
when using modem.

The address is
http://www.zionpentecostal.com/home.html

What can be causing this  poor performance?  I have just two pieces of
JS code that reads from another server, one for the counter and one for
the news at the right side of the page.  I do not know if that is
causing such a deterioration at page-load time.

I am using MS FrontPage 2002...

Thanks in advance!
