Default load time

After installing dynamic listings into each subpage I've noticed that upon first clicking my site it will hang and then immediately load. Is there a way to code it differently so that the rest of the site is loaded while data is retrieved from the MLS?

Usually, what causes a page to hang is missing "alt" attributes. The browser cannot construct the page until it figures out how much space the images will take. That may or may not be the problem.

Otherwise, your server-side code might be taking too much time to execute. If you're using javascript, you're depending upon client-side execution which may not be very consistent either.

You might look at caching the output of your server-side code so that it doesn't have to re-generate the page with every request.

P.S. Actually it's the width and height attributes of the <img> tag, not the alt attribute that the browsers use to size images.

Oops. My mistake. It's the missing H/W img attributes as Richard says that stall page loading. I must be overworked.
