Every now and then I’ll visit a website whose images take forever to load, has this ever happened to you? You’re all excited – waiting to check out this new site that a friend recommended and there you are…..sitting…….waiting…….sitting…….waiting……

Here’s a tip if you own a business and have an online presence, visit your site and see how long it takes for the images to load, or better yet – right click on the images and download it (Mac users:  just click and drag it to your desktop ) Each image, if properly optimized, should be no more than 150k in file size (of course that’s up for debate) Out of curiosity I’ve downloaded images from slow loading sites that the images were actually as large as 5 megabytes! This will no doubt aggravate visitors who visit the site…And think about the psychological affect it will have on your customers…they might think YOUR SERVICE is slow….just a quick tip….and remember…
