Can anyone that has dial-up give me an ideal on how long my site is taking to load up.
Thank you in advance.

Oh almost forgot it is an adult wink.gif site without nudity.

Niki,

I have a 45333 connection at the moment and it took just under a minute to load the home page. For what its worth, two items that I noticed loading slowly were your "Top Of Page" logo and the 2nd pic of the Angles center-column area (perhaps this area was done using the "message" content area of monstersmile.gif). By 2nd logo I mean the one with the brunette in red lingerie lying inverted (the blond in black lingerie leaning forward loaded fast).

I don't know if there is an image size difference between the two Angle shots or perhaps it just has to do with the order monstersmile.gif loads parts of the page. However, if you could get the logo and that 2nd Angle pic to load faster, any load slowness would be "below the fold" and that might be acceptable to you.

Also try out a load time checker that SRG provided a link to a week or so back. Its url is http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
It gives you approximate load times for various connection speeds.

Finally, if you don't trust that tool, I'm sure we'll be glad to give your site a look again...your images are a lot more fun to watch load than the cleaning products on my site.

Hope that helps.
