Manual caching
Hi
Is it possible to get php to manually cache all images for a website when the home page is loaded, allowing the other pages to load more quickly? This may or may not be a good idea, but the site is small so the total number of images will take about 5 secs on a 10Mbit line. The graphics are complex and need to be single jpgs rather than css trickery.
Cheers

the site is currently comprising of several medium sized images (1000*300 or 400*400 etc.). The link is:

Your site seems very fast - the pages loaded instantly. I would not worry too much about this if I were you.
You cannot control the speed of the client connection, and the site may appear slow to anyone using dial-up or slow connections, but on a T-1 it's just fine.
If you are concerned about the speed on a slow connection, your only choice is to redesign the site to use lower-weight graphics. But as I said, its inherent performance looks great to me.

Cheers,
I've been trying to find percentages of people using broadband as oppose to dial-up because I'm on a 10MBit line and I'm not sure how many other people are. I would expect the site to be promoted to other people with quite high connections due to the nature of the content and the artists promoted and so it wouldnt be a huge problem but it was interesting to find out. I'll check out the solutions you mentioned in the first post never the less.
