    Good Evening, 

    I have an issue with the way my website loads and trying to see if you guys could help me out. When you go onto my website it shows the bottom of the page first, then goes onto the top. It doesn't do that in all browsers, but does it in some.

    Hey Brandon, the issue which you're experiencing seems to be because of the slider - the images which you're loading are so big that the browser leaves them until the end of the loading before they're displayed. Unfortunately, there's nothing we could do about that, apart from suggesting you try out a CDN which may decrease your page loading time. I hope this makes sense. Cheers :)

    Good Afternoon, 

    I've taken some time to optimize the images for the site (by decreasing the file size) and I'm still having the exact same issue. Are you saying that the images are too big by dimension or by file size? This issue happens on every single page of my website except for the portfolio and contact pages.

    Hey Brandon!

    Try these tips:

    1. Leverage browser caching
    2. Reduce server response time
    3. Enable compression
    4. Optimize images

    Those are the main points showing from pagespeed - so basically,

    1. Grab yourself a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache (there's tutorial videos all over youtube on how to set it up)
    2. Consider upgrading your host (opting for more power)
    3. Contact your host and ask them to enable gzip compression
    4. Make sure your images are web optimized meaning around 400kb or less

    Taking these steps should yield a solid performance increase :)

    Cheers
