Does your page load time STILL suck?

Posted by stuart as

Well it’s about six months since I last did my analysis of the page load sizes of the blogs on the 45N5 top 100 (and some) list, so I’ve let my trained monkeys loose again across the make money online blogosphere, measuring and analysing (in between throwing handsfull of shit at each other - which monkeys, no matter how well trained, are wont to do), and here are the results

(If you’re on the 45N5 list, but not in this list, it’s because my spider had trouble accessing your site)

All in all there are about 330 blogs on the list this time, compared toaround 250 last time.

Some comparisons to last time:

  • The average page load of the complete list is 638kb
  • The average page load of the list minus the two worst offenders is 450kb
  • The largest load size was Court’s Internet Marketing School, weighing in at a hulking 53Mb (might have something to do with all those videos pre-loading)
  • The second largest was The Blog Novice, at a piddling 9.7Mb (46 images at around 60kb each will do that)
  • The smallest load size was JonnyQ888 at a featherweight 31kb
  • There are 5 blogs over 2Mb (1.5%, compared to 0.8% last time)
  • There are 23 blogs over 1Mb (6.9% compared to 7.1% last time)
  • There are 98 blogs over 500kb (29.6%, compared to 27.8% last time)

So here’s the list, from largest to smallest:

How did you do, if you were in the last list, did you increase or decrease your load size from last time?

How long does it take your blog to load? | Make$ Money$ Blog - Truth, no scam says July 1st, 2008 at 5:40 pm

[...] List of Make Money blogs and their page load in KB. [...]

Dave Starr says July 1st, 2008 at 9:10 pm

Hmm, I was in the last list … a few places higher in the list (there were a lot fewer overall, and 30 or 40 Meg lighter thna today … and here I promised to clean it up some.

I read Court’s site most every day and I would think, I my slow connection, I would see more delay. He is better than many overloaded video home pages .. perhaps his server is really fast.

This is all knowledge of only academic interest _unless_ you need the one visotor that a slow load time drives away … after all, if s/he doesn’t come, you’ll never know, will you?

Make Money Blogging With Blogging Tips And Tricks says July 2nd, 2008 at 2:56 am

Holy comprehensiveness, Batman!

And damn, Blog Badly is pretty high up there. I’ll have to cut down on all the fancy goodies and go for a manageable load size. Tuttle’s is like o_O

Mo says July 2nd, 2008 at 4:57 am

Jeez - I knew my page load was slow and big - but didn’t realize just HOW big. Thanks for the service! Time to cut down the images in my posts and see what else is causing the slow loads.

Tom - StandOutBlogger.com says July 2nd, 2008 at 7:27 am

Nice list! Good to see how I compare to other blogs!

Ades says July 2nd, 2008 at 2:12 pm

no 42, huh? long list makes me feel good about my standing ;)

Jim says July 2nd, 2008 at 2:14 pm

What a concept! I haven’t seen something like this before. My blog is sllloowwww, which is exactly why I’m switching to HostGator in about a week. I’m hoping this alone can jump start my website into a faster animal.

Mr. Javo says July 2nd, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Hey I’m over there! I’m on 13, but 1mb it’s ok … I consider that my blog loads fast :P, what do you think??

Dennis Edell says July 2nd, 2008 at 7:11 pm

I would hope someone would actually inform me if I was slow, although I realize that rarely happens unless its a regular reader or similar.

I doubt I’m on this list, I don’t really have time to check…whats the usual criteria for such a list?

Gary says July 3rd, 2008 at 2:51 pm

Any ideas on how to speed up load times out side the obvious? I use mambo/joomla and can’t seem to get any quicker!!

Internet Marketing Firm says July 3rd, 2008 at 6:22 pm

Nice list dude! I.m aware now in my blogs file size.

stuart says July 3rd, 2008 at 8:21 pm

@ Dennis - you can’t be bothered looking to see if you’re in the list, but you expect me to sit down and write the criteria for you?

Good one…..

Thanks everyone else for your feedback! :-)

Search Engine Optimization says July 4th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Hey, Thanx for sharing this wonderful resource.. Stumbled Your URL… Tha

This blog ranks 75th on the “Page Loading Time” list | Sha Money Maker says July 7th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

[...] go to the list and find out where do you [...]

Tennis Ball Machines says July 10th, 2008 at 4:51 am

Thanks for the list. I thought court’s site took longer than usual.

Scam says July 11th, 2008 at 8:04 am

Is the page loading time really an issue? Does anyone use dial up any more?

I have to ask because all of the sites on the list that I’ve visited load pretty well instantly for me, including Court’s.

Search Engine Optimisation Services says July 11th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

Nice Post
Thanx for sharing :)
Stumbled your Url Cheers!

Good Informative post
Stumbled you cheers!
Will Keep in touch with you :)

Franchise says July 13th, 2008 at 4:13 am

Glad to see the power of my http://www.worldfranchising.com yesterday did not push you into the bearish camp. Yours is one of my favorite blogs and I learn a tremendous amount here. I’m glad to hear you’re having great results. My outlook is usually similar to yours, and I program trade, but I get whipsawed far more it seems, so my results are more on the order of 12 - 15% annual gains. Keep up the good work, dude!

hank freid says July 14th, 2008 at 2:21 pm

Thanks for information. It was a great information.

Puneet says July 31st, 2008 at 2:42 am

Jim’s blog is running well now … i think he shifted to another host after reading out from here. ..hehe

good find ;)

Total fishing gear discount says August 5th, 2008 at 8:57 am

I agree page loading time is an issue I can only wait so long about 2 or 3 nano seconds and then move on to the next result from google.

Abrablogger says August 8th, 2008 at 7:41 am

Petty I missed the last list :( Would have liked to see how my site compares.

Sales Jobs says August 12th, 2008 at 1:47 am

Excellent list! I appreciate your analyzing project. Thanks for sharing your resources.

Karuvai says August 12th, 2008 at 1:49 am
