Why do some Web pages take longer to load than others?
The speed at which a web page loads is a function of several factors. The connection between you and the web server, the total size (in kilobytes) of the graphics on the page, the complexity of the page layout, the type of browser software used, and the speed of the computers involved (both serving and viewing the page) can all affect load speed. You can’t control all these factors when viewing websites, but you can help by using a current browser. If performance is unacceptably slow, you can turn off automatic image loading (see the Help section in your browser for details).
