Error message when you visit a Web page

100K is a good working level as G tends not to look at pages much above this.

So basic you cannot give it away - BUT there is some BIG news from Google so lets see who can find it first

Yes you are probably right - especially as most people are on broadband nowadays.
Still, these pages are far too large for web optimisation and the images should be optimised. It can only help!

[RuralWeb]

these pages are far too large

They certainly are as Duncan pointed out but wether that is the cause of the problem I doubt it as I have seen far worse pages without such an error message.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the (ex)supplemental indexed pages

I use photoshop and i use the save to web. I must be doing something wrong? Is there a specice way of saving the images

[OriginalTouch]

What version of Photoshop do you have?

Another thing that has struck me, you must also ensure that the image size is small before you do this, there is no point in optimising a huge image, only to resize it on the web page.

So in Photoshop, choose, image, image size and make the image size about the same size as you want in shown on the screen first, such as in pixels.

Then, choose save for web and then in settings, you can choose low to maximum resolution, or even the quality scroll bar on the right to choose the quality. Look at the preview to see how your image degrades to choose the best setting. Beneath the image on the left is a resultant size of the image and the amount of seconds to load. Ensure that the image is beneath 100K and less than a few seconds.

This also depends on the amount of images you have on each page. You have a lot. Some people prefer to use thumbnails on one page, to then link to larger images on a resultant page.

Search engines prefer less products per page.
