Why does the used-car search-results page take a long time to load?
Two reasons. First, any search result takes longer to display than a “normal” page of text or graphics. This is because the server has to do a search based on the information you supplied, and then it puts together a custom results page. The second reason for the apparent slowdown is that you are using the Java-based version of the search results – if your browser supports Java, this is the version you will see. Called an “applet,” the Java result is like a small program that runs inside your browser. While it takes a little longer to download than a text-based results page, it is much more useful. For example, you can quickly sort results, filter by price or location, and create a printable list that contains only the models that interest you. back to top of Cars.
