Issue 1 when I make a folder icons in my www.missionnicaragua.net page and save my icons to it (the home, reports, maps, youth etc. buttons) and set my images as icons/whatever.gif it will NOT find it. I HAVE to have everything In the web directory for it to work Issue 2. I have GREATLY reduced the size of my icons and they still will not all download whenver you connect. all but 3 but if I wait several minutes OR surf around for a while eventually they all download. Why won't my server upload all of them right away? Is there some type of refresh rate I need to tweek? Maybe my firewall at work is slowing it down but I don't think so can someone take a look at my page www.missionnicaragua.net and see if you are having the same issue?
You may have mixed lower and uppercase. E.g. when I load your page, it waits forever on the home button. I copied the url of the single gif, and noticed it had .GIF (capital) as extension. I changed that to lower case and immediately I get the graphic. I guess this is true for the other missing images. Reason why it takes so long instead of giving a broken link might be a rewrite rule that loops?
Thanks martin BUT.... the home page looks for .GIF and all the others .gif That was because I was in a hurry, trying to get my /icons/whatever.gif or .GIF to work so I did not recompile Tonight I will recompile the home page to be look for .gif again and erase all the .GIFs However this was also the SAME issue when they were all .bmp's Granted it is MUCH faster now but still not quite right once that is done (remove all .GIFs and recompile the home page to look for .gif) is there anything else I can do? Could this be my firewall (firestarter)'s refresh rate?
Well the home page loads now immediately and it doesn't try to keep on downloading anything for me now . You can run a speed optimization report with http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.missionnicaragua.net/ and you'll see there's still one big image on your home page (homeimage.JPG). The only other issue I found was an invalid link for the mail address: http://validator.w3.org/checklink?c...mmary=on&uri=http://www.missionnicaragua.net/ hth
Hmmm Hmmm that homeimage.jpg downloads before anything else It is only a 640 x don't remember. Do I need to reduce the quality of the image mabye? And thanks for the help
Experiment Yes, try to lower the quality to such a level, that it's still oke. I agree there's a limit how low you can go before the quality degrades to an unacceptable level. Try-and-error. One more remark I can't stress enough: Linux is case sensitive. xxx.JPG is a different file as xxx.jpg.
Yes I kind of ran into that last night Yes I kind of ran into that case sensitive thing last night trying to get icons/whatever.GIF to work which still never did. Now I have a home page looking for .GIFs and the rest of them looking for .gif and I will change that to where everyone is looking for .gifs. Thanks for the speed optimization thing I will look into it
