Hmmmm.....that's weird. Works pretty fast in 3rd world Africa. I will have my webmaster check it out tomorrow.

If anyone else find it slow or at an acceptable speed, your comments will be appreciated.

Marius,

A couple of things:

When you hover over any items on the drop down menus the item disappears. It's very distracting.

On the price list the gray writing on the gray background is hard for us older guys to read.

The Paypal option to use credit cards is great, transfers can be a pain.

Looks great to me and is working fast on my side.

I'm thinking may have to set up a Cape Buff hunt for next year.

Thank you sir. Really pleased to hear that it is running smoothly. Not sure why some of the fellas here found the website slow.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

I tried it again, just now, and it took 20 secs. to completely load the home page. Most people would give up on such a slow webpage, so you need to do something to fix this.

I'm using Chrome.

Nice. Your missing a big market by not having a camera safari for us old folks that have done the Africa hunts already. I'd like to bring my daughter out for snap shots with a camera not a rifle at this time. LOL

It took 7 seconds to load the home page from my end - good enough for me.

I liked the drop down menu showing shot placement on different game. That would be interesting to newbies to Africa hunting.

Very interesting idea.I am currently in the USA, but I will add that as soon as I get back to South Africa.

Also, thanks for the rest of the comments. I checked and also asked my webmaster to upgrade the server, which it has been brought to my attention, could be a factor. Apparently, it could run smooth in RSA, but could be slow in the USA, which is obviously not acceptable. Whether that has happened in the meantime, I have no idea, but it will happen.

Still very long load times. For those who are reporting shorter times, make sure it is your first time after opening the browser as things are stored in cache that make subsequent attempts take much less time.

I can't think why a slower server would make things slower to display in the U.S. as opposed to the RSA.

I think it much more likely that the designer got fancy and is doing lots of things before finishing the display of the page. I've seen this over and over again in web design. It's really hard to keep these guys in check. Simple is better when it means faster.

We are busy looking at options to upgrade the server as we speak.
