Help me check loading time - 02-12-2009, 08:53 AM


I've had a major client complain that it takes forever to load my website.

Can you guys/gals give me an idea of how long it takes to come up in your browser ?

i.e 3 seconds, 10 seconds, an hour, etc.

thanks

Nice Tom. It took about 2-3 seconds for the main screen to come up

Very snappy. No noticeable loading time at all. One of the fastest I've seen and my network here at work seems a little slow from time to time. Every gallery loads within 2s or so. I took a look at about 10 pages.

Tom, for my connection (15MB FIOS) it took ~3 seconds to get the "loading" screen and then another 1.5-2 seconds to get the first image. By no means slow. Nice site.

Quick load - about 1-2 seconds to get loading screen after clicking link and then another 1-2 seconds for it to load. I clicked on the galleries and other pages, they all loaded quick.

Thanks everybody. I've got enough to convince the client that there is a problem on their end.

Thanks again.

From the time I clicked your link till I saw your face it was 4 seconds. Not slow at all. Tell em to clear out their cookies or something like that.

Edit: And this was on a wireless notebook.
