MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / April 2005digital pictures load slow on published website
The digital pictures on the website load very slow, can that be fixed? How? Many questions come to mind: Do you have dial-up? What size photos are you talking about? What's the URL?

I have dsl-wireless, the pictures are small, the url is www.nancysnoahsark.com It doesn't happen just on my computer, other people have complained about how slow the pics load. You can view them on the "Watch Us Grow" page of the website above. Thanks! > Many questions come to mind: > Do you have dial-up?

The picture on the front page is 90.8KB. The other ones are around 600-700KB. Thanks JoAnn! > I brought your page up and the photo of the school did take a while.

I use Photoshop Elements and it has a "Save for Web" option that makes a smaller file size. Any chance your graphics program has a similar feature? If not, maybe we need to chat offline. :-) SignatureJoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] > The picture on the front page is 90.8KB. The other ones are around > 600-700KB.

Perhaps use Photoshop to resize and resample your images to a size that is closer to what you are going to use on your site at 72 dpi. Then optimize your image by using the "save for web" as a jpeg. I don't use Photoshop but I imagine when you "save for web" you will have the option of adjusting the quality of the image. Choose the lowest quality that still looks good when you view it in IE, and use the optimized images in your Pub doc. Then go to "Compress your graphics for a faster web site": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011266301033.aspx#compress DavidF > Ii have photoshop 6, when I save for web, there are setting options, > jpeg,gif dithered, png and so on.

Another important issue on this topic that I haven't seen anyone address is linking images versus embedding images into your website. Embedded images will make a site run much slower. I've just had to deal with this issue this week and learn the solution. My site is now operating smoothly with linked images that can be cached rather than embedded images that slow it down. It's very simple to do. After you import your image, with the image selected, open up the Graphics Manager. It will take you directly to the image you have selected. Run your mouse over the right side of the image list in the Graphics Manager and a drop down menu will appear. Open that drop-down menu and choose Save as linked Image. A dialog box will come up for you to navigate to where you want to put your website images on your computer. I would suggest creating a folder called "Images" and putting all your website images in that folder. When making a post state up front the version in use. You may encounter this is either 2002 or 2003 but for some different reasons. If you are using version 2003 as shipped then you need to install Office 2003 Service Pack 1. Version 2003 SP1 installs a picture optimizer tool on the picture toolbar. Use this tool on each image in the pub file to modify the image to the appropriate format for online use. Ideally, as JoAnn has been suggesting, you would already have sized and optimized all your images prior to using them in the web publication. But then doing so does require having a graphics editing application.
