Testing Page Download Times
|
|
|
|
Page download times are a frequently-cited metric of a site's design and effectiveness. If you are developing a public site, you need to be sensitive to achieving a balance between attractive content and tolerable page-loading times. Studio can help you find that balance by supplying real values for document download times across a range of modem speeds.
|
|
|
|
To test the current document's download time:
|
|
|
- Select Tools > Document Weight. The file's dependencies are listed along with file size and download times for a range of modem speeds. Tags in comments are not calculated.
- If the page's download time exceeds the site's requirements, edit the page to decrease the number or size of dependencies, and re-test.
Studio uses the Root URL setting in your FTP configuration to determine the relative path to files.
|
|
|
|
To set the root URL for an FTP server:
|
|
|
- Click the Remote Files tab in the Resources view.
- Right-click on a server name and select Server Properties.
- Complete the Root URL field.
