Some web sites take several minutes to finish loading.
Common reasons why this happens and how to work around them.

  1. First, if you're connecting to the Internet with a 14.4 modem, most of the WWW will load quite slowly due to the ubiquitous presence of large graphics, animations, java, javascript, and bloated web pages.
  2. However, if you have a good 28.8, 33.6, or best of all, 56K connection to the Internet, all but database-driven web pages should load fairly quickly unless the designer has decided to put many known special effect in the page.
    1. What's a database-driven web page? Examples include virtual.lynchburg.net, where the content for the page isn't hard-coded into it with static HTML, but rather is drawn from a database according to the way you personalized it. As such, it takes not only the time to send it to you, but also the time necessary to retrieve the data from a database of information.
  3. Additionally, if the server where the web page or FTP directory you're trying to retrieve is down or under heavy traffic, that can also cause your page to take longer than usual to view.
  4. Yet, occasionally there are conflicts with your Internet connection. To fix these, first disconnect your current dial-up connection and re-establish a new dial-up connection.
  5. If that doesn't help, check your network settings to make sure there isn't a gateway problem with your computer.
