Hm it varies a bit but using Opera's Dragonfly i just clocked it at a little over half a minute, i think it was a bit faster before. I'm in the Netherlands, on a university network so plenty of bandwidth. The main issue is the images, as expected.
www.visionkl.com/sites/visionkl.com/themes/visionkl/images/highlights.png took oer five seconds for example.

connection speed issue

Posted by xsean on March 10, 2010 at 5:33pm

if you said the highlights.png took over 5 seconds to load, then i think is connection speed issue between Netherlands and Malaysia as the file size is just only 183 bytes.

Fast enough for me

Posted by tuthanh on March 11, 2010 at 3:11am

It loads fast enough for me, I don't feel any remarkable latency with it.

This site is cool. Congrats!

Posted by xsean on June 12, 2010 at 11:17pm

Why dont't you make a case

Posted by bluedrup on June 19, 2010 at 11:04pm

Why dont't you make a case study ?
What modules do you use, if you use some custom modules , in general more info about your project...

busy at the moment

Posted by xsean on July 12, 2010 at 7:04am

currently busy with some projects, so no really have time on writing case study...some more my english grammar not very good :p

Looks great. My only advice

Posted by JayNL on June 29, 2010 at 11:53am

Looks great. My only advice would be to get another stockphoto for this one: http://www.visionkl.com/sites/default/visionkl/files/image/system/homepa...

the blonde girl on there is popping up on all kinds of sites lately. She's like the new iStockphoto model or something...

Drupal is like falling in love with a girl after you got to know her, instead of instantly falling in love with her appearance... :)

image changed

Posted by xsean on July 12, 2010 at 7:02am

i think my client had changed it because they update content themself...

A few comments...

Posted by pixor on June 29, 2010 at 12:09pm

The site looks good, but it's very slow to load (images?) I am on a UK University network, so I have lots of bandwidth.

The site also is too wide for my screen, and it's a 1280 pixel wide screen. I would try to get the content to fit within 1000 pixels.

screen width is 1085px

Posted by xsean on July 12, 2010 at 7:05am

that's weird cause the screen width is 1085px

Loads fine on my end. Well

Posted by GraMur on July 1, 2010 at 11:15pm

Loads fine on my end. Well designed site.
