Make your website " cache -friendly"

[hassen1]

When a visitor to your site first encounters your homepage, their browser downloads all the graphics on that page. When they continue on to pages deeper in your Website, many browsers will store (or "cache") the graphics from the homepage and use them again on each page on which they're encountered. This saves the same graphics from being downloaded on each and every page of your Website.

In order to take advantage of caching , your site needs to use common graphics on each page. For example, set up a "buttons" directory and save one copy of each button in that directory. Use the buttons in that directory on a site-wide basis. For example, I use one "back" button for my entire site. The first time the back button is encountered, it will be downloaded. Each succeeding time it is encountered, the browser will used the cached copy of the button, which saves download time.
