February 28, 2003, Newsletter Issue #51: Define Your Images

Tip of the Week

Troubled by slow-loading pages? Here´s a tip that will give the appearance of faster loading pages. Define the height and width of the images on your webpage, like this:

< IMG SRC="mypic.gif" HEIGHT="120" WIDTH="60" >

By doing this, you create a placeholder for the image which allows the browser to continue loading the page´s text before the image has been completely downloaded. The appearance of the text gives the illusion that the page is loading faster, and that makes a difference to your users.
