I downloaded your background image from your website, brought it into Xara, optimized the image to JPEG 192dpi and it fills the screen and the file size, while not petit, went from 2.52MB to 399K, a considerable saving in bandwidth.

Perfect apparel for the airport lounge. You will make friends at International immigration wearing those.

I had optimized this image in Photoshop to a jpg @ 172kb
then set as the background ..not sure why it's showing as a .png to you
I will work on it & see what I can do

What's Photoshop?

You can optimize the image right in Web Designer.

Right click on the image and select Optimize Photo.

yeah got to break some old habits & use XARA photo tools more
think I fixed it..
I blurred it out alittle & reduced the original image size

Bingo. Much better. Loads instantly.

Not sure what you have done to the site now, but all I get is a subscribe page!

**gwpriester** · 04 July 2015, 03:51 PM

Same here. Maybe LFRYARTGUY is republishing the site? Or has the site gone up in smoke, gnar gnar gnar.

**ss-kalm** · 05 July 2015, 01:25 PM

Okay, the site seems to be back up, but the background still appears very slow.

I'm not sure why we're fussing over a site promoting something that ruins many families.

I know recreational/medicinal use is widespread in some circles, but for everyone that benefits from the product there are those whose voyage into abuse.

We probably don't want a debate here or for TG to be promoting the subject.
