Set download time and size preferences

Dreamweaver calculates size based on the entire contents of the page, including all linked objects, such as images and

plug-ins. Dreamweaver estimates download time based on the connection speed entered in Status Bar preferences.

Actual download time varies depending on general Internet conditions.

A good guideline to use when checking download times for a particular web page is the 8-second rule. That is, most

users will not wait longer than 8 seconds for a page to load.

1 Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).

2 Select Status Bar from the Category list on the left.

3 Select a connection speed with which to calculate download time and click OK.
