Instead of using the following meta tag


<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no">

in the head would it be better to use

galleryimg="no" in the img tags themselves? Quicker loading time?

Not if you want a valid code...
... what's wrong with the image toolbar in the first place ?...

nothing.. Im trying to keep the head section low for faster loading time...

also is there a online program that can test the load time of html pages?

I'm not sure how image toolbar can be an influence on the loading time.
Just look at the size of all your files (linked to a page) and then divide them by the connection speed that will give you a ballpark number...

Minimize the content inbetween your <head> tags. Try to use external CSS files for styling, external JS files, and try to only use a couple of meta tags (most search engines don't really care for meta tags anymore anyways) such as description and keywords. The browser must parse the <head> of the document before it can start rendering the <body>. Less time to parse the head, the sooner the browser can start rendering the body of the site. This will save bandwidth and make the site render faster.


:) This is what i meant

i dont think a meta tag will take any significant amount of time to parse at all. it would be extrememly fast and probably not significant enough to be noticed by a human. having a javascript in your head area may cause a bit of slowdown depending on the script.

I'm not sure where you got this quote from but if you use the following code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
startParse = new Date();
</script>
<!-- Your document head elements-->
<script type="text/javascript">
endParse = new Date();
alert('Document <head> parsing time: ' + (endParse.valueOf() - startParse.valueOf()) + ' ms');
</script>
</head>

you will find out that parsing time of document head is the least of your worries ...
