View Full Version : Not sure if it's possible Please help
Ristick 03-07-2009, 02:31 AM Okay, I made a web-site with Photoshop. However, their are a lot of chopped images making it hard to load on a slow connection. I was wondering if it was easy so that I can have a download button, they can download the images into a certain directory, than from the website call them? Would that be quicker?...
Please let me know! I don't have a clue how to do it, so I'm also hoping somebody can tell me how, or direct me...

Most browsers cache images/js/css/etc. So the loads after that will be much faster. Also browsers are pretty finicky about security. They wont let you modify the file system as that would be a rather large security issue.
You might want to experimental with different file formats. Generally jpeg is going to be the smallest, but you can't have transparency and it is lossy (meaning you loose quality).
Snargleflap 03-07-2009, 02:53 PM vibrokatana is right. If you have a bloated page you're going to have to find a way to cut down on the image sizes. You don't need print quality resolution for the web. Also, think about it again and decide if you really need all the images you currently have on the page.
Visually cool websites are impressive the first time or 2 you visit them, but to be honest, when people make return visits to your website, they're after content, or information. It won't take long for site visitors to get frustrated with a slow loading page and stop coming back altogether.
Look at Google as an example.

Wow, didn't catch that one. Spell checking only works when you actually recheck what you select :(

Hey, not to worry... you're among fellow geeks here. We all make taipoes from time to time :)
Ristick 03-07-2009, 09:01 PM I know exactly what you guys are saying, but I got a Poker Script (phppoker.net)
I redesigned it, however, the actual Poker.php part has a lot of images needing to be loaded... I don't know how to change it. I noticed that even on my Localhost it has glitches loading. :(
If some how they can download all the images, and for me to call them, from a directory on their computer... Anybody...?
Steve_Arm 03-07-2009, 09:13 PM The browser already downloads them, the thing is are they on simple
<img> tags or echoed from php?
How did you saved the images?
HivelocityDD 03-09-2009, 02:36 AM Make use of very limited images and go for css. Also break down large images to small ones that may reduce the load time. Also you can enable a basic html view and a rich enhanced view. For slower connections users can select the basic html view.

Well, they're simple <IMG> tags from Photoshop to Dreamweaver. I used CSS to like put the picture as the background so I can place Text/PHP over it...

Wow really good thinking, I think I'm gonna do that. :D
I'll have one strictly CSS (little to no images) and one full blast. THANK YOU! :D
Moved from programming, 'cause it isn't. ;)
