My Page Takes Forever to Load/Some Things Are MISSING

MY PAGE LOADS VERY SLOWLY (SOME THINGS DON’T FULLY LOAD OR SHOW UP)

Your page will load slowly and do weird things like jumping and your widgets (music players, videos, counters, etc) will disappear and stuff for a few different reasons.

1. You have lots of widgets. ( counters, music players, videos, quizzes, surveys, etc….)
2. Myspace servers are busy with high traffic volumes.
3. Your internet providers servers are busy with high traffic volumes.
4. Your computer doesn’t have enough virutal memory (too many programs running in the background, and/or too many open programs running, and/or too much stuff on your desktop.)

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO FIX IT:

1. Restart your computer and go get a coffee and come back. (Sachiko does it!)

2. Only display a few images and maybe one or two vids or other widgets at a time. And switch them out regularly. Put long surveys or quizzes in bulletins and blogs. (sometimes the code for these things isn’t very good and can conflict with layout codes) Just make bulletin announcements when you make new blog entries and tell your friends to check out your blog!
• It will make your page load faster and it will be more interesting to come back and visit to see what you will put up next. :)

3. There isn’t much you can do about MySpace or your internet providers servers except email them and complain that they need more servers.

4. On your computer: Close any programs you aren’t using, close programs running in the background that you don’t need, clear off and organize your desktop. (if your desktop is cluttered with tons of pictures and videos, and other files etc… you need to put these in folders)

The bottom line:
The more stuff you have on your page at the same time = the longer it will take to load.
