How long would it take for this html to load?

The size of the html script and all the images is 3.61 MB (3,787,561 bytes)



The images are BMPs and I know they are larger files but whenever I attempt to change the file to GIF, the quality gets warped.How long would it take for this html to load?
BMP is a terrible format, GIF is even worse. Do not use GIF ever!



Change your image files to Jpeg (very small but will have some quality loss) or PNG (no quality loss but will be larger than Jpeg).How long would it take for this html to load?
Depends on the connection. Cable/Broadband: 15-20 seconds. DSL: 30-40 seconds. Dial up: Never used it lol!
For users who use dial-up it may take forever to load.



BMP is not good really.
over a 56K modem (assuming full bandwidth) would be about 8:30

DSL, depending on the type, could take from about :45 to :18



some sites you can use to determine other file download times:

If you want to speed up your page I say you should change the pictures to JPEGs. It keeps the quality and it loads faster.
