I have a client who does not like the loading time on his site. I went to an optimization site and they mentioned that I could compress the css files. Can someone help me with this? I don't know how to do that or what to use to do it with.
If you want to look at the site, it's www.arguellesautosales.com . I didn't feel like it was particularly slow, but this is a very persnickety customer. - Last Edit: 15 years 2 months ago by Maria Dacus.

- wow Firebug tells me, site is like 1 MB. Compression will help, but not much. Your biggest problem is the main image. It's 500 KB.

- Even with a large image overhead it still loads nice and quickly here in Tokyo. Tell 'em to get a better connection!

If you want to optimise, you can start with this page:
www.arguellesautosales.com/index.php?opt...tact&id=1&Itemid=162
Those images are huge for no real reason!
And yes, your client's index page is not so bad..
Without cache: 478.6 KB
With cache...: 104.7 KB
But you can remove the JS that "disables" right-clicks as it is useless and only adds bloat to the page. When i see such stuff i get a "90's flashback" LOL

- Try some image compression tools. You can find a few online. They are called "Image Optimizers". I suggest you do this on any/all of them.

- Thanks for all the great advice, guys. I ended up simply reducing the image size of the large image on the front page and he loves it now. Who'd have thunk? I will keep all these in mind for future reference, however. As far the large images elsewhere on the site - it's all I can do to get them not to upload every picture taken at 12 mega pixels!

Great to hear! Yes users seem to have a knack for using 12 mega pixel plus images in their content
