Calling all dial-up modem users...

[PA.com]

Hi all

I'd like to ask a favour please. If anyone here has a slow dial-up modem (i.e. 56k or 44k and NOT Broadband), I would really appreciate it if maybe someone could try and access my home page at www.piano-accompaniments.com and time approximately how long it takes to load.

My reason for asking this favour is that I've just had a dial-up potential customer say he had to give up because the page was taking so long. He actually measured the page size at a whopping 978k - I personally make it about 150k so I'm not sure what is happening. Maybe it differs from browser to browser.

If anyone would be so kind to attempt to access the page I'd really appreciate it, if you could post back your timings here or email me at paul@piano-accompaniments.com to let me know!

Cheers everyone,

Paul Gardner

Wow, I've got a big JavaScript problem haven't I?

Thanks very much Mike for that analysis site link, that's a really useful resource.

I'm going to try and take some Javascript off and try again, I had no idea it was so hungry.
