There's a saying that it takes years of building a good useful website - and just two weeks for a web-designer to destroy everything ;-)
Please, whatever is done, take care of not drowning browsers in third-party queries, cookies, scripts, tons of webfonts and other means to distract from content. Most enterprise sysadmins I know already block facebook servers and have started eliminating google services and flash. Scribus being graphical software, I think most users probably won't complain about heavy image-downloads - preferably on demand. The actual scribus.net page is well within 0.3Mb total (without images), which is far less than many of the more _developed_ ones. Using http://analyze.websiteoptimization.com: http://www.scribus.net/ loads in 15.38 seconds (T1 1.44Mbps) and raw html-page with 'curl' is 0,397 seconds, while http://www.guardian.co.uk/ = 34.81 / 0,372 seconds http://www.bigissue.org.za/ = 27.10 / 1,662 seconds and the 'uberflashy' spanish football site Marca http://www.marca.com/ = exceeded the 3Mb limit, just the html-code 'curl's in 4,178s Just thinking out loud, Sveinn ?ann fim 19.sep 2013 08:17, skrifa?i Craig Bradney: > Yes I agree there too.
