My calendar downloads slowly.
My calendar downloads very slowly. Is there anything that I can do to speed it up?

Re: My calendar downloads slowly.
http://www.localendar.com/public/rfvkids loads immediately for me; it's not a particularly complicated calendar in terms of # of events or complicated recurrence functionality.

That said, the internet is a complicated animal, and there can be dozens of hops between your browser and our servers.

On many computers, you can type a command like
tracert localendar.com
which will show you all the hops and how long each one takes.

Re: My calendar downloads slowly.
Is there a way to add a preloader so while the calendar is loading it will tell visitors that its loading? I've had 2 people leave because of slow load.... A preloader script would be awesome!!

Re: My calendar downloads slowly.
Your calendar loads instantly me for me - it has very few events.
I would be curious to see a link to the page where you have published it.

Since there are a variety of ways the calendar could be published, a generic "loading" message/mechanism isn't practical. But I can probably suggest some ideas for your site (using jQuery, etc) once I see a sample page.
