Check all of the links before publishing the site to the Web. This includes any links to images, scripts, Java applets, as well as hyperlinks to other pages. Be very careful before changing the filename of a page. This kind of work can be tedious but broken links can make a quality web site appear to be very unprofessional. It's a lot faster at work.
Web developers can become spoiled at work.
Many workplaces have technology available to employees that is more advanced than technology found in most homes. For example, most Mercerians who develop web pages have the luxury of a computer that is directly connected to the network and the Internet. These connections are significantly faster than a standard 28.8Kbps or 56Kbps modem. It is very easy to forget that a large percentage of the world still uses these standard modems or perhaps slower ones. The largest contributors to extended load times are large image files.
