Full Version: How long does it take a SIW show to load on your blog?
OpenSourcePhoto > GetIt > Showit Web

It is taking about 20 seconds for me, more or less. That seems a bit long, but maybe that is normal? It is only a 38 image 60 second show.

Thanks.

I noticed it took a while to load yesterday.
How big are the images you used to make the show? I usually downsize them to around 1200px before making the show, but I'm not sure that you have to.
If it's not a picture/file size issue, that would mean its a server problem. Who are you hosting with?

Hey Michele smile.gif Usually the reason for long download times is:

1. The "Preload Entire Show" box is checked.
2. The mp3 hasn't been compressed for Showit Web

Here is a link to properly compressing Mp3's for Showit Web and below is a pic showing how to locate the "Preload Entire Show" box. smile.gif

Yep - never noticed that preload button before, and yes it was checked. Thanks!
