I did mean for other users, however I think it was some ads that were causing slow loading times on my wiki (coupled with my slow connection). Guess I can't help that for others.

I've been trying to split up some of the big character pages, and I've tried to use text instead of images for titles.

Maybe I could try compressing images for larger pages. My main page has some big pictures... hmmm. My episode list has lots of pictures. Does it help loading times to have small pictures or should I shrink them with GIMP? And which is better, gallery or slideshow?

That is a lot of characters. I've taken a look at my mainpage source. A lot of it is because I have formatted text and I've repeated the same format over and over again... but nearly half of it isn't even content. 'Welcome' is 597 lines down!

I'm probably being a bit crazy, but it annoys me when pages get stuck or take ages to load. It makes me less inclined to read the wiki :( I want people to stay on mine.
