MILAVIA: Please rate my website's Speed!?

[Webmaster]

I want to know what you guys think of the loading speed of my website. I am considering to move to a dedicated or Virtual Private Server for more space, bandwidth and speed. I noticed that Alexa rated it as slow. I always thought it was pretty good. What do you think?

I have no issues with the speed at which this website loads compared to any other site I visit. I use FireFox and I've used a "tweak" that loads all pages much faster than Internet Explorer does. The tweak basically opens web pages up to 30 times faster by establishing multiple connections to the page.

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

• network.http.pipelining
• network.http.proxy.pipelining
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

I have no problems with the speed. Loads instantly, using  2Mbs broadband.
