Having too many graphics (particularly large graphics), can cause your
site to load entirely too slow. Visitors will get impatient and often
times click out of your site -- never to return.

SOLUTION: When possible save your graphics as GIF files (gif.htm)
rather than JPEG (jpg.htm). Also, reduce your graphic in actual size as
much as you can without distorting the graphic or picture.

2. Counters

A visitor counter or hits counter should not be seen on your site unless
you have trememdous traffic. The reason for this is visitors really
don't want to know which visitor they are, especially if they're visitor
number four. There's no benefit to
your visitor, nor is there any benefit to you. The only way showing a
counter is advantageous is if you've had millions of visitors and wish
to display the popularity of your site or would like to attract
advertisers with the large numbers.
Otherwise, you can use this space for a benefit-packed headline that
leads your visitor to another part of your site.

SOLUTION: Most web hosts offer web statistics that reveal daily
visitors, hits, referrers, etc. This feature will let you know how many
people are visiting your site without the whole world seeing the
information. If you're just starting out, make sure your web host
offers this free service.
