I have realized that PNG is a little more clear than GIF too. No problem at all. I have realized that PNG is a little more clear than GIF too.

I'd planned on converting all the graphics to PNG. Supposedly that gives a modest decrease in size over GIF. This is something I keep meaning to do, so thanks for the reminder!

Using the "Save for Web" feature makes a big difference! Thanks for the reminder! Images are definitely the ones putting more stress in terms of load times. I haven't seen that image optimizer before so I will surely check it out! Thank you! Thats absolutely correct. Using the “Save for Web” feature makes a big difference! Thanks for the reminder!

Images represent the heavier load on virtually any website so make sure you are optimizing them. Alternatively you can also turn to an online image optimizer. Online image optimizer can be found here http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/ cheers Also always use the “Save for the web” feature included on image editing software.

Excellent results Nick! I would figure that people don't mind waiting upto 15 seconds at the T1 connection because thats fairly quick but I would think anyone that has a blog that rates at 20 seconds or higher at the T1 level is running a bit slow.

But this is only true of the US where DSL is a quite affordable. In most other countries, the number of users using 128k or less is higher than those using DSL.

I am curious what is the percentage of internet users that have DSL or T1 speeds? I know broadband is growing, but what percentage of surfers have to wait a minute to 2 minutes to read on of the blogs you mentioned because they are on dial up. Thanks for the ideas and tool links.
