Hi, No problem, Just need a little advise on improving my page display time, let me explain:
I am using some ad software (written in php) which is giving me 5 ads (banners) to display on a page dynamically (eg: they rotate, banner code is given at the end of this mail) I have put all 5 banners on a page my themselfes, renamed the file to TestingAds.php and used a microtime function to see whats the script execution time like so: <?php function mtime() { $time = explode(" ", microtime()); $micro = doubleval($time[0]); $sec = doubleval($time[1]); return $micro + $sec; } $start = mtime(); ?> html and banner code here <?php $end = mtime(); $total = $end - $start; echo "Total script execution time: $total"; ?> I ran TestingAds.php 10 times and these are the numbers, you dont have to take an averige to see they are pretty good: 0.00024902820587158 0.00027501583099365 0.00025904178619385 0.00027906894683838 0.00043702125549316 0.00036203861236572 0.00045394897460938 0.00024497509002686 0.00025498867034912 0.00025796890258789 then i took those ads and placed them exactly where they have to go on my index.php page, then reloaded the page 10 times and got these numbers: 0.00018906593322754 0.00066602230072021 0.00055098533630371 0.00054502487182617 0.00054800510406494 0.00055789947509766 0.00054597854614258 0.00056195259094238 0.00056302547454834 0.00049996376037598 The numbers look pretty good (i think), but when i actually visit the page it takes a bit long to load...even though I am on a pretty fast connection, any idea why this is the case? my page takes around 20 seconds to load and there is a white screen till everything is loaded then BLAM its all done. What can i do so that my page loads faster or atleast shows the page to the visitor and then loads one ad after another so the visitor can see the page loading instead of just a white screen? This is the banner code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?jscript;zone=tower"></SCRIPT><NOSCRIPT><IF RAME SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?iframe;zone=tower" MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 FRAMEBORDER=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=121 HEIGHT=601><A HREF="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?banner=NonSSI;page=01;zone=tower" TARGET="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://jumac.com/ads/ads.php?page=01;zone=tower" BORDER=0></A></IFRAME></NOSCRIPT> here is the TestingAds page: http://bestwebhosters.com/TestingAds.php I have not included the main page that i have already setup the ads because right now its still be touched up and nothing on the page works but if you still want to see it just write to me and tell me.
