deviantART is a website built for people to upload their art and gain critique from fellow artists. It is also a place where you can sell art and join communities. It has been in development for over 5 years now but there are still quite a few issues and bugs left into the system. One of the main issues is that it takes a long time, even on a fast connection, for the images to load. you can see on my screenshot that a lot of the images have failed to load properly and just leave me with a blank box. This also happens within the artworks page, often leaving viewers without the image to see. This issue has been raised many times but it seems that every time they update the network it gets worse.
If I was to build this website i would have found a much more bandwidth friendly way to display the images, one of the main ways would be to remove the flash element of the site as it slows a lot of computers down.
