0 Cupcakes Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well, you have to edit the source code to remove any images that are there that aren't required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cupcakes Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes, which file should I edit? I don't know, it's your site. Look through the template file for whatever CMS you're using... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Silencer Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I don't know, it's your site. Look through the template file for whatever CMS you're using... I believe I wouldn't come here seeking for help if I didn't have a problem in the first place. I have gone through both the index and the header files and I can't seem to find the specific image code. Perhaps you can assist me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 kjx Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It loads fast enough for me (less than 2 seconds). You can try looking at data from Google Webmaster Tools if you have concerns. As far as possible files should be requested from the same domain name to reduce resolution times (exception below). And you should try stitching images together to reduce the number of requests. Looking at the html source, I would suggest linking to the the jquery scripts at Google - they use content delivery networks which will direct the request to the server closest to the end user. And it will also mean that the files might be already cached on the user's computer from visiting another website that linked to the same files. (more stuff like that) You should consider hiring someone professional to look at your site (going only by the way you phrased your question).

Well, I'm 100% positive that there are more than two files that are being used to run your site. What CMS are you using? http://www.woopads.com/templates/platinum/ Go through that template directory to look through the files to edit what you want to remove.

We are actually looking for a freelancer to take care of our code although we are on a very tight budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
