slow webpage loading/interaction
Hi all,
Some webpages load very slowly, no matter the available bandwith.
The pages that do all have a finely striped background (example:
www.export.vlaanderen.be).
Please help because it makes browsing next to impossible.
Thanks,
Jan
My system is fast (latitude D800 with 1GB ram and 64 MB nvidia card, 60 gb hd with 6 gb available, spyware- and virus-free). Internet connection is either 512 kbps dsl or 6.6 mbps cable.

The speed a web site responds/loads pages usually is a function of that site's server and/or internet link. No matter what your connection speed is to your ISP, you are limited by the speed of the remote site. I have a broadband (cable) connection and some sites load almost instantly and other sites take a long time to load. There is nothing wrong with my equipment or my ISP connection speed just the particular sites.
There are also times that the traffic loading on the internet will cause bottlenecks and even cause sites that normally load fast to take more time to load.

I tried the link you give and it opened almost instantaneously,
It shows a world map which is clickable on different continents but that does not seem to change the page. The links to the right work.
http://www.export.vlaanderen.be/servlet/genweb.servlet.MainServlet
yet if I put that in IE and click go, it opens a different page (heet van de naald)!
Maybe the site has some redirection bugs, don't know.
PS now when I try your link , but instead of clicking on it in your post, copying it leaving out the ) at the end of how you posted it, it opens heet van de Naald page, again immediately. Very odd, but it does not answer your problem of its slowness on your system.

Thanks for your replies.
I expected you would not have the same problem with that page (or others that I have problems with). It's definately not the connection, because the page also loads slowly if i resize or scroll through, like what you get when you scroll through a large image file on a slow computer. The mouse cursor also takes a long time to switch between the "little hand" and the "arrow" when I move it over the page. Even at the same time, other explorer windows or programs work normally.
Sites that do this to me always have a finely striped background...
All the best,
Jan
