I have a huge home page. Originally I included a "forms page" near the
bottom of my home page. But I never set up the forms I just used that
section for more information. The problem is on parts of my home page,
near the bottom, the changes I make are very very slow. At the top they
are fine. And at the very bottom the changes I make are fast. What
can I do to correct the problem?

www.yandara.com It is probably not the photo images it is slow when I
remove all the photos.

Firstly, you shouldn't have a "huge" home page.  Ideally, you should
aim for about 40kb or less.  What you are describing sounds like
images waiting to load.  Most (almost 70%) di NOT use broadband such
as DSL and cable modems to surf.  They use dial-up and many of those
aren't even 56k modems.  Give us your URL and you will get more
specific answers.  Basically, break up your Home page, use less images
and compress the ones you do use.  An image does not have to be large
in physical dimensions to be huge in file size.

I just visited your site and examined the images in my temporary
internet files folder.  You image files are fairly compact and I agree
that they are not the problem.  What I did notice is that you have a
lot of style sheet references in the html.  On small pages, this isn't
a problem.  However, I have seen that on large pages a complex style
sheet with heavy formatting will cause a page to load slow.  Click on
the HTML tab in front page and you'll see what I mean.  I write all of
my HTML in notepad or vi, so I don't have to worry about some program
adding bloated formatting code.  I understand why that might not be an
option for you, but my guess is that it's the heavy formatting...
