Right off the bat - the forums/home/ page is too image heavy. One image is 833.21 KB, another is 2416.13 KB. So just between those 2 images, your home page is over 3megs.

And then add another 631.66 KB to that 3 megs. Your talking about a home page that is close to 4megs That is WAY too big. The average home page should be no more then 100K. And your pushing around 300 times that.

Chances are your going to have a high bounce rate, just because of the images and load time. And then, if you get very much traffic, your server is going to have to process 3 megs every time someone lands on your home page. Before long, your server is going to fall to its knees and beg for mercy.

You should consider making the site readable. It's far to wide.

Thank you,

there were large images that were loading onto the front page and resizing, i got rid of those images i was using for the front page stories and created a smaller jpg template for repeated use.

i believe the site is readable, im running at a 1600 x 1200 resolution, and it is also readable in 1280 x 1024, it could have been one of the larger images stretching the page out. i got rid of it, check it again...

ive reduced the page weight and compared it with other gaming websites, it seems the page weight should be good now, thank you for pointing this out to me as i didn't take it into consideration.

I am still looking for help if anyone who is good with vbulletin wants to help me out with this website contact me

I'm fine with the document size. It's only 923 KB.
By the way, i saw there are photo thumbnails on your forumhome.
What is the add on you're using?
