Travel Agent / Travel Agency site using Joomla, JReviews - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi all,

just launched site. enjoy! , please provide comments! looking ways improve.

love , layout of site. navigation sub menus blocked showcase photos though in ff.

your js/css isn't gzipped compressed cuts loading time 70+% , supported major browsers. according page speed
"compressing following resources gzip reduce transfer size 2 thirds (~121.3kb)"

you can compress css/js using cssjscompress

using "smart optimizer" gzip , compress files further or if run js conflicts plug in.
viewtopic.php?f=433&t=344013

you can view file sizes each image , js/css , see compressed states of js/css using firefox along firebug , yslow

whatever try on website, remember site first.

i prefer joomlapack backup's backup whole site including databases. http://joomlapack.net/

your background image large @ 214kb

i've recreated jpg file uses 1 panel , 32kb

download jpg file

also notice have going dark lighter darker again repeats better people larger resolutions.

otherwise higher resolutions (examples reduced fit forum)


but adjusted looks this


your showcase photos 100% compressed jpg files , can reduced 70% jpg cut file size 50% without loosing quality.

i.e. this image 164kb @ 100% [url=http://i29.[removed].com/308lhu9.jpg]85kb @ 70%[/url]

if don't have decent graphics program photoshop or similar can optimize them @ dynamicdrive.com

all articles on different resorts have nothing in showcase seems out of place. have liked see larger images used pop images each destination. (about 400-500 pixels wide)



overall it's visually beautiful site informative , can tell lot of effort when it. optimize images js/css , should shave off 500+kb off current sites 784kb size.

edit:
forgot mention extension save ton of time optimizing images.
content optimizer works advertised , can tell how want compress images.
