Hi all,
I am developing a website which requires to render big images on every page. The problem is...it takes ages to load.
So is there any technique or special processing in HTML mark up / JSP to make it faster? Few lines of code would be useful...
And can I use flash instead of HTML for this purpose...will it help?
Thanks.
The image takes ages to load? What size is the image? Right click a loaded image and select properties to find out its size (or save it to disk)
There isn't really anything in HTML you can use to speed up the loading of images.
What format are you using for the images?
What size are the images (in pixel size). A common mistake is to send a large image (eg 1024 x 768) but then set image size of 100 x 200 in the image tag so the browser loads a large image, but then shrinks it down to display it.
Ways to make images load faster == make the file size smaller. That will result in a loss of image quality of course. You have to find the balance between image quality and download time.
- use a higher compression rate
- send a smaller image
