gingar Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi guys, I've got this website. It loads quite fast in firefox, like in a matter of 2-5 seconds.. but in ie 6, it takes more than 1 minute to load the same page! I ran the microtime, and time elapsed in IE (time elasped B :0.12592887878418 secs) is similar to that of the time elapsed in firefox (time elasped B :0.12102603912354 secs). So it appears IE took a gazillion years to display the page.. any idea why? I've got lotsa tables and div tags.. does it affect? Images have been optimised as well. another qns, does 'views' in mysql help run queries faster than combing multiple tables @ runtime?

Lumio Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Am I allowed to see the page? microtime can only be used for the serverside-building. So it doesn't matter, if you're using IE or FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumio Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi! Okay I see. Also the page is loading slow here at home for me. It takes several seconds to load this page. Maybe you IE loads at first everything and then shows it to you. Because of you large images it takes time And why are you using frames? ----- I looked a little bit closer and I think it takes so long because of you mass of javascript. Also your code is not valid. 156 errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingar Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 i wish i didnt have to use frames either.. i inherited the code. the previous fella quit. how do you check if the code is valid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 With IE6 it took 50 seconds to complete the page load With FF2 it took 48 seconds to complete the page load Thats on a cable modem connection. Problem is all about the image loading time. If they're all reasonably optimised and all sourced from your web server, the problem is your web server's slow.

gingar Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 thanks lumio! anyone knows if 'views' in mysql run queries faster than combining multiple tables @ runtime? erm.. i mean is querying a view that combines multiple tables faster than a query with multiple join statements?

teng84 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 it has lots of images maybe thats one reason and maybe your query and loop. it loads too slow Im using T1 connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 the load difference (not the net load time) can be accounted to the xhtml be written in a method that makes it difficult for ie to render it meanign the xhtml is not very compliant and thus the browser does a bunch of guessing on what goes where.

gingar Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 oh.. so i need to reduce my tables and use more <div>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 not technically it means you should revamp your style to reflect a method that is better suited to acid2/w3 compliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
