Performance Enhancement
 

With a little care you can significantly increase the overall performance of your BookShop. Simply follow these guidelines:

1. Use neat and clean HTML to design your 'BookShop Template'. All BookShop pages are created using this design and bad HTML will cause pages to load slowly on your visitors browsers.
 
2. Try to keep the size of the 'Template' as small as possible.
 
3. Minimise the number of Images. More images always make things slower. Even if you use images, try to use optimized (less in size) images.
 
4. It is always a BAD idea to put Java Applets on Dynamic Pages, Netscape will probably hold everything for several seconds. Javascripts are not always browser friendly, so check them thoroughly or better do not use them if in doubt. Remember: you never know what type or version of browser your visitor might be using!
 
5. If you are comfortable with HTML, try to check/edit your 'BookShop Template' manually. Graphical HTML Editors (easy to use) often include lots of unnecessary codes. Remember, less CODE means smaller page size and faster download. Try to use a simple TEXT Editor if your 'Too Easy to Use' HTML Editor is not too good for this.
