Then really you are approaching the problem the wrong way. Better to spend time making the site loads faster then trying to code a progress bar..

I didn’t say there wasn’t - I said:

The only solution I know off - I have provided it already to you. If you clients enjoy seeing it all - they can wait but I would venture to guess that you are loosing quite a few people who are not willing to wait. Choice is yours. Alex Charissa,

The thing is that we really are committed to displaying all of our images/content on the one page. Is there a way to create a page loading progress bar for WP? Or, is there a way you know of to load the content in sections, ie. top 5 posts, then in sections of 5 or something like that? Our clients really enjoy being able to browse the surfer feedback all on one page because they are not necessarily searching for specific bits of info, but rather getting an overall vision, feeling for a large variety of feedback and responses.... Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I so appreciate it. out of curiosity, how long did the page take to load for you? Thanks Alex…

You have huge number of images, multimedia files and that is what makes your blog load slow. Try reducing the number of posts on your front page and drive visitors deeper into other content using different methods. I think you will see huge difference in load time because your DB is not the issue based on what you have described. Alex Charissa,

I was thrilled to find your info on downsizing the wp_options db, because my blog is terribly slow. I realize I have a great deal of content on the front page, but my posts db is only 275 kb. my wp_options on the other hand is 805 kb. I went through and deleted all relating to old plugins, etc. But it's still the same size. weird. it says 447 overhead next to the actual db size. Not sure what that means either. At any rate, I've deleted all of my plugins out of desperation to get the blog loading quicker. I would love to know if you're aware of a way in WP to create a page loading progress bar. That would be fantastic, as the purpose of our blog is to have all of the info visible on the front page to be ready/browsed. progress loading would make it workable for us. If you have any insights, I would be incredibly grateful, as I can't find a thing about it on the WP support forums. Surprising, as there are many complaints about how slow WP loading is. Cheers, CJP Alex,
