Hello smart guys of the forum!

I have this landing page working pretty well, but when I have done a lot with the padding and margins people have said that there was a better way. So I was throwing this out there for suggestions.

Thanks

Wow. It took a full 12 seconds to load that site here in full. I would not worry about the padding and margin until you get the page load time down.

I'm puzzled - it opens very fast in San Diego, Houston and OKC. Can you try again please?

Big Thanks in advance

4 seconds for me.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Loads pretty quick for me. I ran a speed test at Pingdom.com and the results were actually pretty good.

Website Insight came back with good load times too:

That being said the page is pretty heavy but not outrageous. I love the look good job.

I must have caught the server on a slow time. But it is still loading over 3 seconds for me.

Last test was 3.19s, that is still slow. I would suggest compressing the images on that home page as that should clear up most of the lag.

Always good to compress images :) But he is rated 83/100 so not to bad. But every little bit helps :cool:
