The large park map on the parks page is saved as a bitmap (bmp) file making it about 20Mbytes - and unneccesarily slow to load, probably impossible for those with dial-up connections. The GIF version is 40 times smaller. There are plenty of other example where the site is similarily not optomized. The folks designing the web page need to be reminded of these basic principles if you intend for the site to be useful to the public!
ReplyDeleteI passed your comments along to Andrew Hagen, the MG-Monona cabtle tv guy (the new Bill Ziegler). He's working on it. The current maps didn't look good when changed to GIFs.
