Please critique 195's site
 
I just got the new domain name and host for our new site www.team195.com. Please look at this and give as many horrendous comments as you would like. I don't care what you say, i would just like to improve this site as mush as humanly possible. (There are a few downed links that i need to fix, and more content will eb coming soon.... ) Im just looking for a general analysis(loading time, quality of the layout, checking alt tags.. things like that) Thanks!

It looks really nice to me. You can definately tell that someone spent a lot of time working on it. I do have high speed internet, so I really can't comment much on load time (though just in case you were wondering, it took seconds). Great job, it looks really good. :D

Hi, the site looks great. I think the grey looks a little bland as your background, it'd look better white. I think you shouldn't use Java for your picture galleries simply because it doesn't always work for everyone. If I had Norton Internet Security on it wouldn't have worked.

Here's a nice website analyzer from http://www.websiteoptimization.com/

Analysis and Recommendations:

TOTAL_OBJECTS - Warning! The total number of objects on this page is 27 - consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your external objects. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.

TOTAL_IMAGES - Warning! The total number of images on this page is 26, consider reducing this to a more reasonable number. Combine, refine, and optimize your graphics. Replace graphic rollovers with CSS rollovers to speed display and minimize HTTP requests.

TOTAL_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this page is 73913 bytes, which will load in over 8 seconds on a 56Kbps modem - or 20.13 seconds. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Be sure to provide feedback for pages over 30K by layering your design to display useful content within the first two seconds. Consider optimizing your site with Speed Up Your Site or contacting us about our optimization services.

HTML_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of this HTML file is 13678 bytes, which less than 20K. Assuming that you specify the HEIGHT and WIDTH of your images, this size allows your page to display content in well under 8 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 60235 bytes, which is over 30K. Consider optimizing your images for size, combining them, and replacing graphic rollovers with CSS.

SCRIPT_SIZE - Caution. The total size of your scripts is 2979 bytes, which is above 1160 bytes and less than 4K. Consider optimizing your scripts and eliminating features to reduce this to a more reasonable size.

the header/title image at the top of the page does not need to be a rollover, and contributes very little while increasing page load time. I'd recommend just making it static.
