In my opinion Entrecard is a waste of your resources. IN most cases the sites that are displayed on entre card are of low quality and there really isn’t any value in those links. I find for myself at least that I never click on random images or links when visiting other sites therefore entrecards just take up space and slow down the website.

I tried a new ad program that just killed my load time so I had to remove it as a number of people were starting to complain. I know with Entrecard that whether I continue to drop on a site or not has a lot to do with how fast or how slow the blog loads. untreatables last blog post..William Balfour Jennifer Hudson Suspect

I don’t have a huge amount of widgets on my site, and for end users it seems to run ok. It’s the admin side of things that is painfully slow sometimes, especially when I post a new article - I think this is due to having pingbacks enabled - but this is such a useful feature and one which I’m sure I would regret turning off.

First of all, I love my major. Chinese literature is the symbol of the start of Chinese literary modernization. It plays an important part in modernization of our citizens’ thoughts. What’s more, modern literature is very close to our daily life and it can deeply reflect the styles and features of our society. I am fascinated by the great masters’ refreshing or warm or profound styles as well. But I am not easily satisfied with such superficial knowledge. I hope I could have a better understanding in modern literature by studying further. This is a very important reason for me to take the postgraduate exams.

Next, I love the feeling in the university. It is full of youthful spirit. And I am deeply attracted by the scholarly atmosphere. And the most important, it’s my great honor to open my ears to your teaching.

Finally, I want to talk about a very practical problem. That is my dream of becoming a teacher in the university. I want to realize my dream and make myself to be a well-qualified person. I think the postgraduate studies can enrich my knowledge and make me competent in my future job.

That’s my simple and clear reasons why I took the postgraduate exams

This needed to be said. For a while I wanted readers to be able to come to my news blog and be able to sip their coffee as they scrolled down and read the headlines. In addition to this I wanted my blog to call out to analytics, quantcast, adsense, adbrite, and a few other ad networks. In the end, my scrollbar was tiny and the page load time was horrible. I decided to go with 8 stories max and only the ad networks that seemed worth it.. since then my bounce rate has decreased and my subscriptions have increased.

Interesting points.By only using the plugins and widgets you really need and not using too many pictures (large ones) you will speed up the loading time a lot.It´s funny how intolerant people are online if a site takes more than 5 seconds to load they head elsewhere

I just tested my home page at gomeznetworks.com and got this:
Object Response Time Data
Total Response Time: 5.214
Total Bytes: 190009
32 Connections

I don’t know if that is good or bad or in the middle range.
32 Connections does seem too much but many of them seem to be the same…

Connection 26 - alove4horses.com (66.40.65.241) Connection 0.157 66.40.65.241 0.078 175
Connection 27 - alove4horses.com (66.40.65.241) Connection 0.158 66.40.65.241 0.078 243
Connection 28 - alove4horses.com (66.40.65.241) Connection 0.162 66.40.65.241 0.078 680
Connection 29 - alove4horses.com (66.40.65.241)

Oh, boy, more to study and learn. When do you find the time for all of this?

>You must also remember that if one of these external websites is experiencing problems it will directly affect the loading time of your own website. A perfect example of this would be any blogger who uses a twitter plugin to display their tweets or whatever they’re called (I do not use twitter). I do know however that the twitter website experiences above average downtime.

Well I see that you do seem to be twittering now, so what did you discover with it affecting your blog and load time?

I am not twittering yet, but considering it. Do you have a post about twitter and its business use?

By the way, what about the Peel Ad did it cause any slow downs? I just added it to my blog yesterday and now I see this morning that I can not be my site to load at all. Don’t know if the peel ad has anything to do with that or not.
