Are web pages supposed to resize themselves several times?
This has been going on for years and I've just been dealing with it but now I really want to know if there's something I can do about it. Pages load piece by piece. What do I mean by that? Well, a web page will first load the frames and then fill in the images next and then other content last, while resizing the frames several times to accommodate the newly-loading images and other content. Why does this happen? Why doesn't the page load the frames, images, and other content simultaneously so that it doesn't have to resize itself many times?

Sounds like a slow server supplying the page content or possibly a slow internet connection at the receiving end. Then factor in a webpage that doesn't specify the sizes of all those images which would instruct the web browser to set aside the exact space needed to display those images. Couple that with images loading from a different server which might be overloaded with requests that make it run slow. That combination of conditions can cause the web page to need to be rearranged as each image is loaded. Then add "frames" which is old web technology, replaced by "iframes" in more modern HTML code. And then load that page on an older PC which has an outdated operating system, and you have problems like described.

Is this an old PC: Windows 7 Home 32bit, NVidia GeForce 210, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU?
Is this a slow internet connection? 16mbps
If those are considered sufficient, then it's either site-related or it's my plugins, or...?
I wouldn't consider that an old PC and that isn't a slow internet connection, so I would say it is probably site related. But an example page to "experience" would be helpful to see the actual situation encountered.
