If the user has a slow download speed the page will take longer to load things like videos and images won’t load at all because of the download speeds. If the download speed it slow the page wount be able to get retrieved fully.

Some browsers don’t support some types of files that are used on website, like videos that are supported by flash; the only way to overcome this is by using a different browser, or downloading a flash player.

Cache memory helps load pages faster these are the pages that are always visited, if a user visits a lot of pages very often enough, they should erase the cache memory capacity in the browser settings.

If the user does not have a good processor in his computer the web page won’t load and also it won’t display content. A better processor would make websites load quicker and images and videos would load easier as well.

Server Side Factors

A Bandwidth tells the user how much they can download. The higher the bandwidth means you can download more data. For example if they had a good internet speed but bad bandwidth they would still have a slow download speed.

When a web page loads before this there are certain parts of the page that must load first these are the head this hosts JavaScript. This is why when you go on a web page it would load slowly and only shows background, and then other parts of the website begin to form.

On a website the number of hits on it this is the number of times that the user had tried getting onto it this information goes to the server hosting the web page. This says how many times people are visiting the page.

File Types on different browsers don’t show some file formats. This is problems such as not being able to load images and videos; it is a server side factor as the web page hosts chose to use these file types.

Web 2.0 uses JavaScript’s to upload and download data from the web server without reloading the whole page again, social networking sites use this. This allows users to interact with the page by splitting communications the data coming back to the page. For example instagrams home screen feed, which will refresh automatically without the user pressing refresh. The comments on instagram will also continue to refresh whilst a user is scrolling through.. example where this is used are Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Cloud Computing is where software programs are accessed over a network. Where as if it was stored on the user's computer It would take up memory, on cloud computing they are stored in another location, this means less storage space is used on the computer. examples of this are Google docs.

Blogs are websites that are for users that want to share information with others users. These use the WEB 2.0 as the feed would refresh on its own without clicking the refresh button. examples of this are Google Blogger  Tumblr and posterous

Online applications use the cloud computing as they are accessed from somewhere else and not on the user’s computer. These are documents that store information and save automatically. They are used to pass information from user to computer. for example the apple app store as you can purchase them from the internet and it will save to your computer.

Stephen Flynn’s multimedia project
Stephen Flynn’s project is well sent out the composition of his images and well thought out. The placement of this buttons is not very good as it isn’t clear where they are.  The pages are not set out in order as they do no lead to the correct pages. What he needs to do to meet his audience is add more photos and add the buttons in places when the user can see. He has added all the correct content he just needs to arrange the pages much more efficiently. This is not set for purpose as it is poorly laid out. There are a few errors with the photos as on one page the photos won’t full appear.



The project does not look professional as the back ground and logo is plain and it lacks in detail and just lacks in quality.













The photos do not look good enough to use on this project as you would expect them to me in more detail and better quality. This is the same for all of the slides.










5 improvements to Stephen Flynn multimedia project
                -make buttons more clear and easy to see.
                -make lay out of images much more appealing.
                -put a more colourful background in.
                -put more images in.
                -add description of the department.
