Why do some Web pages load so much faster than others?
The loading speed of a Web page is a result of two factors the combined speed of your modem, your Internet connection and your computer, and the total size of the files used in the page. As Web developers, we can only control the second factor. The footprint of a Web page is the total file size of all files embedded in the HTML document. This includes all of the text, the HTML code, any graphics on the page, and any audio clips, MIDI files, videos or other objects that are part of the Web page. At Art Works Studio we are experts in the art and science of minimizing the file size of graphics while maintaining the highest image quality. We do this by carefully controlling all aspects of the image such as color depth, contrast, and screen size, throughout the design process. This is especially critical when creating animations for Web pages because each frame of an animation is another graphic. Other methods of reducing the footprint of a Web page include reusing images or parts of images
