    One question - how did you determine that some of your linked css and js files return 404s.
    Click the ’Net’ tab in Firebug and the ’Status’ column shows 404/200 responses for your linked files. You’ll also see the order your files are requested and load times for each. Really useful tool!

    There’s a lot more you can do in terms of on-page performance but the suggestions above should give you some noticeable results without getting too carried away.

    And... no tables in sight! Good man wink

      Hey Lucas,

      I did all of the things above Lucas and they greatly improved performance. (Didn’t post it to my live server yet)

      Thia is invaluable stuff that would have taken me weeks of searching the boards to find.

      Thank you!
      Steve

        Glad to help smiley I’m a bit of a performance junkie - love getting a nice snappy response from my pages!

          Outstanding - thank you Lucas!

          I must admit that i love the programming part of the craft as much as the graphics part. I’m slowly learning the best practices and trying to do things "right".

          Thanks,
          Steve
