Is my page size too big? How can I reduce it?

Ok so my page size is 117kb which I know is large, but, does it effect SERPs?

I know the stats at the bottom of my page add 40kb but I really like them there, is there any way to reduce my page size other than removing the stats or reducing the forums?

Thanks.

Dave.

Size of the pages don't matter a lot. However i just checked your forum home page and you have way too many links even they are internal links. I suggest you to put an if condition around Top 10 Stats so it will only show to members.

Also your forumhomepage doesn't validate so i advise you to validate the pages since it is really important.

Thanks for the reply, i did fix many w3 errors but couldn't do the last 4.

I would like to show the stats to members only, that's a good idea, it cuts the page size and keeps the functions for me.

Can you assist me in doing both as I have no idea how to fix this.

Thanks.

I notice my forumdisplay and showthread pages don't validate either.

Not good I guess...

The first error is because of the following code

Code:

<a href="http://www.thecomputerforums.co.uk/"><img src="http://www.vbseo.com/images/computer/misc/logo.gif" border="0" alt="The Computer Forums" onload="if(this.height > 165) { this.height = 165; }" /></a>

Tag onload is not a valid attribute. You shall take that out if you want to validate your pages.

Also <font> tag is not a valid tag also. Instead of font you shall define a new class within additional css and define the font-style , font-size within css.

Also you have a unclosed <td> tag which you need to investigate further.

Does anyone know the code so my advanced stats dont show to guests?

Thanks.
