1 1182 SCRIPT Congratulations! This file
m/eap/html
was compressed.
/js/init.js?
15 ^ 223740* Total (^unique objects)
# Congratulations. This site is using HTTP compression, otherwise called
content encoding using gzip. The sizes reported here are for compressed
content sent from the server to the client.

* CSS alternate stylesheets may be referenced in the HTML but are not
actually downloaded until they are needed and are therefore not included
in the total page size.

Analysis and Recommendations

TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this
page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can
multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site
optimization. Y
TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 15 total objects on this page. From
12 to 20 objects per page, the latency due to object overhead
makes up from 75% to 80% of the delay of the average web page.
See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components
 showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in
Website Optimization Secrets for more details. Consider reducing,
eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS,
JavaScript, iFrames and XHTML) to reduce the total number of
objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. Consider using CSS
sprites to help consolidate decorative images.
TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this
page (10 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing
the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching.
Using CSS techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or
spacing instead of graphic techniques can help reduce HTTP
requests.
TOTAL_CSS - Congratulations, the total number of external CSS files on
this page is 1 . Because external CSS files must be in the HEAD of
your HTML document, they must load first before any BODY content
displays. Although they are cached, CSS files slow down the initial
display of your page. Remember to place CSS files in the HEAD and
JavaScript files at the end of the BODY to enable progressive
display.
TOTAL_SIZE - Warning! The total size of this page is 223740 bytes, which
will load in 47.59 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing
total page size to less than 100K to achieve sub 20 second response
times on 56K connections. Pages over 100K exceed most attention
thresholds at 56Kbps, even with feedback. Consider optimizing your
site with Website Optimization Secrets, Speed Up Your Site or
contacting us about our optimization services.
TOTAL_SCRIPT - Caution. The total number of external script files on this
page is 3 , consider reducing this to one or two. Combine, refactor,
and minify to optimize your JavaScript files. Ideally you should have
one (or even embed scripts for high-traffic pages) on your pages.
Consider suturing JavaScript files together at the server to minimize
HTTP requests. Placing external JavaScript files at the bottom of
your BODY, and CSS files in the HEAD enables progressive display in
XHTML web pages.
HTML_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of this HTML file is 5164
bytes, which less than 50K. Assuming that you specify the HEIGHT
and WIDTH of your images, this size allows your HTML to display
content in under 10 seconds, the average time users are willing to
wait for a page to display without feedback.
IMAGES_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your images is 155358 bytes,
which is over 100K. Consider switch graphic formats to achive
smaller file sizes (from JPEG to PNG for example). Finally, substitute
CSS techniques for graphics techniques to create colored borders,
backgrounds, and spacing.
SCRIPT_SIZE - Warning! The total size of external your scripts is 58436
bytes, which is over 20K. Consider optimizing your JavaScript for
size, combining them, and using HTTP compression where
 appropriate for any scripts placed in the HEAD of your documents.
You can substitute CSS menus for JavaScript-based menus to
minimize or even eliminate the use of JavaScript.
CSS_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of your external CSS is 4782
bytes, which is less than 8K.
MULTIM_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your external
multimedia files is 0 bytes, which is less than 10K.

Analysis and Recommendations

TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this
page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can
multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site
optimization. Y
TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is
24 which by their number will dominate web page delay. Consider
reducing this to a more reasonable number. Above 20 objects per
page the overhead from dealing with the actual objects (description
time and wait time) accounts for more than 80% of whole page
latency. See Figure II-3: Relative distribution of latency components
showing that object overhead dominates web page latency in
Website Optimization Secrets for more details on how object
overhead dominates web page latency. Combine, refine, and
optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS
rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests. Consider
using CSS sprites to help consolidate decorative images. Using CSS
techniques such as colored backgrounds, borders, or spacing
instead of graphic techniques can reduce HTTP requests. Replace
graphic text headers with CSS text headers to further reduce HTTP
requests. Finally, consider optimizing parallel downloads by using
 different hostnames or a CDN to reduce object overhead.
TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this
page (16 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing
the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching.
