hey,

my products page takes almost 20 seconds to load.  this is a problem! 

can anyone help or offer suggestions?

check out the tab "simple products" on my site www.simple-kitchen-solutions.com.

thanks!

Todd

tstock, the page is loading all 51 of your products which probably accounts for the delay.  Is it possible to set Store Manager to load in blocks of 12  or so at a time?  Instead of a page with "1 to 51 of 51," you would get "1 to 12 of 51," etc.

Nothing wrong with 20 some second to load, just don't want go over 40 seconds generally.  Loaded quickly for me.

Todd, regarding my previous post, I just found this in another thread:  http://myofficelivecommunity.com/discuss/forums/p/6787/15662.aspx#15662.  Looks like you are stuck as is until they get the "bug" fixed.

UH, that's you at the end, isn't it...

Same issue here. I have a stopwatch function on my phone, so I decided to run a few tests, from the time I click on SHOP until my items appear:

 Test 1: Stopped it at 2 minutes 15  seconds, not loaded

 Test 2: Stopped at 2 minutes 22 seconds, not loaded

 Test 3: Stopped at 1 minute and 48 seconds, not loaded, couldn't take it anymore

As a note, after each time noted above, I closed the page and opened up to my home page before I began the next "test".

I ask anyone out there that reads this post to go to my site and click on "Shop" and let me know how long it takes to load for you and what kind of connection you have.

Hi Susie,

I see what you mean. I went to your site and clicked on Shop, and it took about 1 minute and 20 seconds for the page to pop up. I have a cable connection, and thats a long time to wait. If I were just browsing websites and that happened. I'd probably just click myself out. It seems even longer when you're just sitting there watching the little green bars fill the space. after I got to your shopping pages, the same thing happened when I clicked on All Products. It was much easier to just click on the Back button if I wanted to look at other categories. Is there supposed to be a fix in the works for this? Seems like it would be a big problem for anyone with alot of different items. By the way, your jewelry is beautiful as always :). I'm a big "Susie" fan :).

Thanks Gypsy! I appreciate your kind words and the time you took to check my site, I just increased my connection speed a couple months ago and I have what the company said was enough power for a developer (even though I am far from it, I'm just impatient).

Can anyone from Microsoft address this? I'd like to know what your thoughts are. I went through at one time and reduced the size of most of my images, 200+ so that took an incredible amount of time and it didn't effect a thing. Help! I am sinking here.

To load http://beadedinspirationsbysq.com/shop.aspx on a 10 MBPS connection 1 min 30 seconds, could not get a reading on website analizer for that page because it timed out.
