NAME (Front Page Element)

This calls the NAME-IMAGE graphic which is uploaded to the VARIABLES section.

Load Speed Trick #26: Use the NAME on the front page instead of or in addition to the IMAGE. If the NAME-IMAGE loads when your customer visits the front page, it will cache this image in their browser.

All this means is that they don't have to download the NAME-IMAGE on every other page they visit. The surfer's browser just recalls the NAME-IMAGE file from it's memory.

This will save 5-10 seconds for that first product page to load, as well as brand your site while the customers is waiting for the rest of the graphic elements to download.
