I built this site for a customer www.hesselcustom.com It is running from my
own server which is Win2k with Apache. I built all the pages to be under
50k but I still can't understand why when I check it with my 56k dial up
connection it takes more than a minute to load the whole page. Its only
running at 44k when I view it most of the time but needless to say it
shouldn't take that long to load. I can't figure out if it is my computer
or something else. Could you guys who have 56k dial up's check it out for
me and tell me if it takes along time to load on your computer. I really
need some help here so any is appreciated.

Thanks

Opening page is pretty quick but the larger images are slow. At well over

100k they are pretty big and can easily be reduced to a third the file size
witih very little sacrifice in quality. I'd suggest using Graphic Converter to
reduce the color depth as well as the coverting to 800 X 600 pixels.

I'm just an amateur though.

Very nice woodwork and the site is neat and clean by the way.
