**devildude8989** · October 26th, 2003, 06:16 AM

www.SearchBunny.com

I really like it

**Creatures** · October 26th, 2003, 06:22 AM

looks good! but why am i downloading 500 kb (or more) at the fron page??

Creatures

**devildude8989** · October 26th, 2003, 06:31 AM

Is 500 kb alot for a homepah?

What should it be and how do I make it less?

**Creatures** · October 26th, 2003, 08:02 AM

well www.techimo.com has got 173 i think, i have something close to 60 kb, and xtremepccentral.com has got 136 so something around 100 kb to 150 kb should be good!

you can make the pics, smaller (in quality) but to be honest i have no idea what i'm really downloading, because the pics were all up and it's still loading, is there a flash file? or music?

Creatures

BTW you page is more than 700 kb =)

Your sight shows me that you have the talent to do professional work. You might make it a little more "grown-up" looking. considering the " grown-up" items your search engine is searching.

looks fine to me

**UpYourz** · October 26th, 2003, 02:17 PM

Come on Uncle Bob who here doesn't like the bunny

**Uncle Bob** · October 26th, 2003, 02:25 PM

If they're cooked right they're not so bad.

An opinion was asked for,so I gave 'um mine.

it's not about how fast it loads, it's about those poor 56k users that have to load every bit and byte from this site!

i have a 1mbps and it loads really fast but for 56k it needs more than a minute

The cell phone picture is 688 KB's!

Reduce all graphics to the point of deterioration and then backup to the next higher colour amounts for optimized graphics.

Check out my suggestions on this page:

The design looks great!

The pictures on the other hand, while they look ok, they are WAY too big!

Now, I don't mean that they look to big on the page, but there actual size in pixels are MUCH bigger than what you have resized them to in the HTML code.

For example:

Here's the link to the phone picture. The actual resolution is 2400 x 1800 pixels!!!!

When the size that you are needing on your page is a mere 90 x 72 pixels. So you could DEFINITELY cut that resolution to 90 x 72 BEFORE linking to it as an IMG SRC.

I'm going to give you a link to a folder with all the images that are on your site, such as the cell phone, where I have resized them to the exact size that you have set on your webpage.

Here's the linky for you...

If that link doesn't work for you, go HERE and click on the "SearchBunny_Images" folder.

HTH,

David

BTW, the new cell phone picture is only 2.24 KB now, a little bit better than the 688KB it was...

**DanGrease** · October 26th, 2003, 04:52 PM

That phone looked so tiny in the website, but its huge when you see it by itself!!

Now I understand why its slow for some users to enter the website. Indeed too big for what you need.

**Creatures** · October 26th, 2003, 04:56 PM

haha lol it's even bigger than i thought =)

688kb for such a tiny pic =)

Creatures

**DanGrease** · October 26th, 2003, 04:56 PM

**devildude8989** · October 26th, 2003, 08:08 PM

Thanks so much for your kind words and advise!

For those who asked about what I am "using" as a SE, I am a search partner with www.Mirago.co.uk

I get paid for most of the clicks

I get sometimes 4 pounds per click on "loans" :-D

And thank you SO MUCH for that image resizing and uploading it, I will update it right now.

Check it in 5 mins and see if its better :-D

Thanks again.

PS: I am not a designer, I dont even know html, so its not my skills that made this site, unfortuanatly, I have to farm out for all my sites.
