The ultimate balancing act - Graphics versus Load Time

One of a Web designer's most frustrating tasks is to balance attractive graphic design against load time constraints.

Surveys indicate that if your page doesn't load in 8 seconds, you'll lose 1/3 of your visitors! But images add color, interest, and appeal to a Web page. What's a designer to do?

Your first step is reducing your image file size. Use our free graphics optimization tool, GIFBot, to help you! Other techniques to speed up your page include reusing your graphics and preloading images. Learn more about image optimization techniques here.
