I’m new to the forum and was hoping to get a little help. I’m building a retail web site with Frontpage and I am starting to add pages with graghics. I am wondering what is a typical download time for a page at 56k? Is 10 seconds too long?? 15 seconds?? Is the download time posted by Frontpage accurate? Or should I be looking at file size of each page? If so, what should that size be?? Thanks for the help!!

10-15 seconds on 56k is probably pushing it a bit, id try to keep it around 5 or less.😉
