We have some members that have dialup (shudder) and complain that it takes forever to have pages appear. Is there a configuration on my end(I am using Dreamweaver) that I could do to allieve this?

Graphics?
Yeah, I have graphics on the site (plus pictures).
Would it be possible to offer a low-bandwidth version of your page with as little graphics and images as possible; or at the very least maybe cut the quality down on your images?
Would that be the only way? I could make the pics smaller..
I'm not big into web design, but I do know that when dealing with low-bandwidth users, you want to keep the images to a minimum, and use lower quality when possible to keep the size down. Remember, the average dialup user is pulling down 4-5K/sec at best, so even a 150K image takes 30 seconds or better to load.Quote:

It could be page size(ie graphics coding) or server time. What size in kb is the page?
Its usually server time. Who hosts the page?
If it was page size the page would appear and the graphics would load slowly afterwards.
