The graphics - please send me your compressed ones -
banner.gif is currently 6418 bytes and holiday.jpg is 5893 bytes - I can't knock more than 100 bytes or so off either without them looking dire.
Frameset - yes I know it's quite a size but it's only served once and as I mentioned many visitors are repeat callers - I did run with a smaller version once but it made no appreciable difference that I could see and didn't look so good. I'm not much cop with graphics as you may have spotted
The sum total of javascript is
which is hardly excessive
The banners ads are served by the banner company and outside my control other than removing them - as 50% of site income comes from them that's not an option - some are java ******s - perhaps that is what you meant.
I have no doubt I could save some bandwidth but not enough to make an appreciable difference - as you mentioned the hosting is crap - that's why I'm looking to move on.
The current total hosting costs including domain and VAT (whicj I reclaim) are £32 for 2 years. When the site made little to no money there was no point in paying more. Now it makes a couple of hundred or so a year it is time to put something back in by upgrading the hosting and maybe even spending some time reworking the site source but I've got other calls on my time - a new car parts site as ******* is proving to be profitable and a site to promote an alternative to the umbrella and Ltd. Company ways of operating which I am hoping Gordon Brown will be making very profitable
Oh - one last thing - can you let me know which browser you are using - I use some php scripting to serve different content to search engines from that seen by humans - if the script doesn't recognise your browser it may be serving you a lot more than a normal visitor would get (view source of frameset should be showing nothing in the noframes portion for human visitors)

The sum total of javascript is
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
if (parent.frames.length) { top.location.href = location.href }
</script>
in the frameset and
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
if (top.length == 0) window.location.replace('index.php')
</script>
in the main page
