Preloading JavaScript Images

[green-watch.org]

Hey Guys,

Here are some before and after shots. The test page content is dynamic each time it loads so that does effect the results a little.

FIOS Connection:
Before: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100623_CYH/
After: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100623_DVW/

DSL Connection:
Before: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100623_CYF/
After: http://www.webpagetest.org/result/100623_DVV/

In general, preloading images with JavaScript seemed to reduce the load time of the webpage.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var preloadImage1=new Image(800,269);
preloadImage1.src="http://images9.green-watch.org/img/buttons2.png";
</script>

The above code demonstrates how to preload an image with JavaScript.

Sincerely,
Travis Walters
