Fast loading pages

I notice that many websites have loads of graphics and photographs but still
load in a flash. My site with just a few graphics (compressed at that) still
takes 18 seconds at 56.6. What do they do that i do not?

What do they do that i do not?

To answer that, we would have to know

(1) What web sites you're comparing your web site to.
(2) What your web site it.

There are any number of reasons why a page might load slowly of quickly.
Among them are:

1. Total bytes of content. Includes graphics, Flash, ActiveX Controls, text,
etc.
2. Caching. If the resources of a web site are cached, they may not need to
be re-fetched.
3. Scripting. Excessive scripting can slow down the performance of a page.
4. Location. If a page is on your machine, it will load very quickly.
5. Network-related issues. Traffic, proxies, web server, etc.

If you can post a link to the page that performs poorly, we can probably
provide suggestions.

It must be me, but... cannot see the paperclip and I have looked everywhere,
even on the floor. Nor can i access that page - I get a 404 error.
