Anyone know how to speed up a site's load time in AOL? Site loads fine and fast in every other browser except the AOL one.

Any ideas?

AOL uses Internet Explorer, so the browser shouldn't be the source of the problem - are you trying through an AOL dialup account, and if so, is it just on site or is it others as well?

Nope, AOL for broadband. Loads fine in IE, no good in AOL though.

AOL software uses different caching type things, they've always had trouble getting their software to run reliably, that problem goes back for many years. Even though it uses IE as its engine, there's a bunch of other stuff in it that can mess up your page loads, but I don't do much AOL problem solving anymore so I can't be more specific.
