it's a bit of style over substance, it should take no longer than 1-2 seconds to move between pages on a website with broadband connection.

It's stupidly slow even in Chrome.

Very poor. Practically unusable in fact. Presumably this is a temporary hiccup...

the problem is the "flash" type images on each page, unnecessary.

Other websites use similar over-the-top stuff and still load much faster. Think there might be something else contributing to the snail-through-molasses loading speed in addition to the heavy image usage.

I can't copy and paste the source code for the images, but they are not compressed or anything, hence the time taken to cache them.

In case you're still waiting for the site to load, a reminder that James Rule's guest tonight on KCFM is Jamie Thackray. Shame there's no webcam :wink:
