before you go into minimizing whitespace, you should really remove all those <cfoutput> tags from around code that does not have any cf variables in it. that will speed up the page somewhat since cf will not have to parse your html looking for non-existent cfml in it...
wrapping all your code in <cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="yes"></cfprocessingdirective> will help reduce whitespace (especially cf-generated whitespace), too. minifying your js and css can further reduce loading times. hth Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ On 05/11/2009 02:26, Jeff Gladnick wrote: > We have a VERY high traffic website, and we're trying to speed up the > pageload times a bit.
