I have five domains pointing at one website. They are .co.uk, .com, .co.za, co.nz and .com.au.

I have visited a few of those web page analyzer websites and noticed that each one comes out a very different page load (in kilobytes). They differ from 45kb (which is fine) to a whooping 200kb.

Does that make any sense to anyone at all? All the sites are pointing at the exact same folder. The domain names are being picked up by the hosting provider.

I'm very confused.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld saturdayk
!

Are the five domains pointing to exactly the same page on the same server? If so, then what you are seeing is surprising. If not, are you using any compression (gzip etc.) for the pages, or a download accelerator? Also are you using a dial-up connection or broadband (many dial-up ISPs use compression utilities).

Hi,

It seems to be back to normal today, they all appear to be the same. It could have something to do with some of the names not yet resolved. Maybe.

What is very strange however is that if I use that same tool Web Page Analyzer it gives me two very different page sizes. I don't know if Web Page Analyzer is just not very good but it's concerning me.

I just recently (on Monday) moved from a web host in the US to one in the UK (as my customer base is there mostly). However, my old site is still live on my old server (SNIP). An exact copy of that is at my new server (SNIP).

However, when I do a check on page sizes using Web Page Analyzer (SNIP) it is saying that my old site SNIP is only about 47kb and my new one is 960kb! Is this web anaylizer just crap and if so is there some better one i can check?

Any help I'd be grateful as all this is quite worrying.

Thanks,

This has now been solved, it appears everytime the application did anything it would append a piece of javascript to the page source... so adding like 20-30kb each go. Not good, but this is getting changed this weekend.

Thanks for listening up however.
