Plug-in for progress bar?

My site builds slowly. Does anyone have a progress bar plug-in I can use on the first page while the site builds, then links to my index page?

Please note that I am not a programmer, I am a WYSIWYGer.

Not sure what you're asking... but if you're saying your homepage's download time is too much, you should do the following:

1. Get rid of unnecessary graphics. Ask yourself... do I really need an animated @ sign for an email link? NO! A simple text link will do.

2. Optimize the graphics and reduce their size using Adobe Photoshop. That'll cut the download time significantly.

It sounds like they're having problems with a script running too long to build the html page in the first place and he wants a progress bar, as if you're installing software, to let the user know how close the site is to start rendering.

You should be able to do this with php easily, if you weren't a WYSIWYGer.

WYSIWYG is frontend only, "what you see", and you want something that is backend, determining server-side state and informing the user. This is something that would almost definately have to be at least customized by you, if you even find a generic solution. That means PHP/server-side code.
