Page opening veeery slow in IE, fast in Firefox…

This page
[url]www.topfm.rs[/url]

It opens very fast and normal in Firefox, but in IE (6 and 7 tested) it really takes some longer time to open.

Yeah, it has pretty much javascript on it, and also some flash banners, but not more than it’s needed for functionality of the site..
I even tried to take some of that javascript out of the page but it still opens relatively slow.

So why is this, and can I do anything to my code to make IE open site faster?

@NogDogApr 25.2009 — When I inspect the page with the Firefox "YSlow" extension, it shows that it has:
[list]
  • [*]12.3K in 1 HTML/Text

  • [*]207.0K in 10 JavaScript Files

  • [*]19.9K in 2 Stylesheet Files

  • [*]112.3K in 15 CSS Images

  • [*]166.6K in 12 Images
  • [/list]

    That's a total of over 500KBytes, around 40% of which is JavaScript. Do you really need all of that JavaScript? If so, try moving as much of it as can be to after the end of the HTML body content, so that the browser can at least start displaying the page while messing around with retrieving all of that JS stuff.

    Take a look at the [url=http://analyze.websiteoptimization.com/wso]speed report for your page[/url] from webSiteOptimization.com for more details and suggestions.
