Pizzahut.com.sg takes more than 30mins to load a page

I typed "pizzahut.com.sg" and waited. The many little graphics took their own sweet time to load. 5 mins later, I gave up and tried to click on an empty space that looked like the link to the home delivery page, guessing via the url.

After that click, I was not ready to wait for 30mins for the page to load...

Can't visualise what I'm talking about? Try clicking THIS and see how long it takes for this ONE image to load. And to have more fun staring at ONE page and waiting for it to load completely, click HERE.

I dunno what's wrong with Pizzahut's website. Is it because the traffic is too overwhelming because everywhere else is closed for the first day of Chinese New Year and everyone else is ordering pizza?

Or is it... time for them to fire their Web Designer and get another one? Preferrably someone that prefers to use REAL text in place of Graphics text, and of course sensible enough not to use 660x294, 97Kb images to create more waiting time.

Okay... so I was told not to cause someone to be fired on the first day of Chinese New Year. Hmm... so maybe those guys that uploaded Edison's photos could teach the Pizzzhut's Web Master how to break up large images into smaller ones for easy loading...

I guess it's just your connection. Since it's CNY, I guess there are more people who aren't working, hence more people to log in the internet in you area. Just be patient. :)

My guess is that everyone is trying to order.
But why are u going to the website in the first place?
Their menu is limited anyway and 62353535 is not really that hard to remember. :P
