    I am starting a seperate thread about this as it differs from my previous query.

    The banner image on my site is approx 1 megabyte in size and on loading the site there is a distinct “kick” where the overlay taxt is visible but the image does not appear for several seconds. I have seen this exact same behaviour on the home page of the site mentioned by forum member chasingthedonkeY at

    Is there a recommended maximum filesize to images ?

    You need to optimize the image size. Heavy weight image will take some time for loading. Loading time will vary based on net speed also. Keep the image size in between 300 to 550 KB. Then site will load quickly.

    @ Chinmoy Paul,
    Almost as soon as I opened this thread I realised I need to look at image filesizes. I have now converted the image from a .png to .jpg which reduces the size to one third of the previous soze and now loads quickly.

    Thanks
