I just did 2 of these things before I even read this blog. But it was not to speed up my blog, it was to reduce the links on my home page. But I really noticed my blog loaded a lot faster after I took off some chicklets and reduced the articles displayed to 7. Great information about Google analyzer though. I hadn’t thought of that.

I just want to make sure we clarify whether or not HitTail is actually causing any slow-down. We’ve taken some remarkable precautions against this.

OK just kidding. Google analytics was causing the problem. I want to put it back in but need to figure out why it is slowing the thing down so much. had people complaining all weekend. it is super fast now.

1) Today’s resolutions: Slash the number of articles on the blogs.
2) Re-evaluate HitTail.
Thanks for an excellent article!

You know I don’t read your site 😉 jk
That was a coincidence. I see the oversized image so often…this is a post that I have been meaning to write for some time. Then I actually came across a blog that had several widgets, and I left before it finally fully loaded because I was turned off.
Jamey,
Great seeing you in the comments. It was a pleasure speaking with you last week.
Michael,
I am happy to change the example I used to something more appropriate. My apologies.

HitTail is one of the most light-weight, fast-loading pieces of JavaScript code on the Internet. I’d be happy to describe the precautions we’ve taken to ensure your pages delivered as fast to full-speed as possible.

I am glad even in this era where many are on high speed connections that you brought this up. Pages should most certainly load quickly or your visitors will go elsewhere where the page loads quicker!
Thanks for sharing the image resizer tools as well, although I use photoshop, I will reference your post for local agents in the office who seem not to know how to resize 🙂

I accidentally loaded the wrong photo and it loaded so slowly that while I was out on appointments I kept getting email about it. Frustrating becasue it was several hours before I could get to a computer. Then my dad called me to tell me my blog was loading slow. On the one hand it is nice to know someone is reading it, on the other hand I am only human, I do the best I can, they could have just gone and read someone else’s blog and left me alone. 🙂 Widgets can really slow things up. The feedburner widget on my blog has been removed several times becasue of performance problems as has the Zookoda widget. Then there are those times when Typepad is slow, like someone for got to feed the hamsters. I know all this yet . . . . sometimes my blog is slow.
