SLOW SITE NEVIGATION USING A XARA TEMPLATE

[llerandi]

Hello,

I've just developed a new site using a xara theme (I bought it) but navigation through the site is slow. Can you please give any advice on how to perform a better navigation experience for my visitors?.

You can visit the site at www.carlosllerandi.com

Thanks in advance,
Carlos Llerandi

After you get a server that is faster than two tin cans and a piece of string, then check it again. Does it load fast on your machine? Are the graphics not overly large (<25k) and you do not have too many. (1000 1k graphics will still slow down your site.

The site could have been laid out for faster loading, but you can only do those types of sites by hand coding em. For instance, I have &frac12 meg pages that loads faster than yours. For instance... 564K html page It is also rebuilt first thing in the morning 6 days a week.
