WebSiteOptimization.com   : 10 Kows/Curl: Woke up this morning to an email from a promotion site (blogexplosion) that said I was declined because my site took forever to load. ouch! That set me on a mission to get my site optimized. First I stripped out nearly all the Flashy Stuff in the Sidebar (sigh, goodbye toys!) They really are Hogs sometimes. Next I went to Web Site Optimization and did some speed test. This led to redo-ing a lot of the icons on my sidebar (and main banner) to .jpg (at 33%) instead of .png which greatly reduced the image load size/time. Got Page Bloat? Get it Analyzed and Get It Optimized! FREE.
