Can’t determine the cause by looking at a screenie of load times , please post the live url so we can run it thgrough some speed testing and analysis software, of course if you so a search on Google for ‘ online website speed & analysis’ you’ll probably find what you need to do it yourself

The resulting analysis will tell you if your images are too big caching is off etc etc at a really page level
Try it and see

Thank you for the suggestion. I ran it through the analyzer and have made several changes. I am still confused as to why IE is soooooo much slower than the other browsers. Is there something specific I can look for?

It’s hard to try to explain as there are so many variables to page and site loadings. I.E is not a W3C compilant browser as Microsoft pulled out of that org long ago as they couldn’t get I.E to work within those stds and wanted to do it their way.

There is also the dreaded ‘quirks’ mode where if anything doesn’t ‘fit’ it throws I.E into a tiz and into quirks mode. I.E doesn’t allow more than 32? .css files to be loaded so many sites are having problems with that. The list goes on & on.

I don’t belive the rendering engine is any slower than Firefox, again without a live site url I or JA can’t investigate and advise. I’d look at your images physical size , are you putting up huge images and making the browser resize on the fly to to final viewing size? That is always a problem . Loading music or autoplay videos are also a drain on load times.

if your final page has 4 images that are in a module boox etc at 200 x400 px make sure your actual images are 200 x400 px saves load time and resizing. The recommended whole page weight (size) should be kept to about 100 k each.

Can’t really think of too much more without looking at your site
