Site Loading Really Slow

[Stacy]

Hey guys!

 

I had to do a system restore and in the last couple of days my site is loading really slow and my tag board is saying "server can't be found"

 

When I am in Frontpage, and go to preview my site, it gives me script errors. I have no clue what that means

 

You guys have any clues at all??

 

Here is my URL http://www.pixie-landpixels.com

 

Any suggestions or help will be so appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Hi Stacy,

 

You include items from several other domains on your page. This means that when someone tries to go to your page, it has to go to all the other domains to get content. This will inevitably slow down loading of your site.

 

When one of those sites is not available (as is currently the case with the tag-board) then your site will be very slow loading, because for each link it tries to load content from the unavailable site.

 

Using these links, is also stealing bandwidth from the tag-board site (unless you have permission to do so).

 

If you have permission for the content, then it is much better to copy the Java and images you want onto your account, you will not then get the problems when the other site is down, and your site will load much faster.

Well I had no idea I was stealing bandwith. All I did was register to get the tagboard, then it gave me the HTML code to copy and paste on my site! That is crazy. I guess I will look for a new taboard.

 

Thanks Andy! I appreciate it I am going to get that fixed right now.

If they gave you the HTML code to insert into your site then it is not considered stealing.

Scripts like Tag-Boards and such allow users to use their code on their website, so you're safe there.

 

However, if you have a lot of scripts like that then that may be slowing you down quite a tad. I'd look for a script that runs on your own server instead of pulling it from a third party.
