asp.net page flickers

I have an asp.net webform. I have the background as an image,that when i aslo have a menu bar, when i click on an icon, it uses response.redirect() to redirect to a new page, but when it loads up the page, it seems like the background image is slow. I can see the backgroud as white first and then split seconds later the background image开发者_开发技巧 will load up, this causes an illusion of flickering when it redirects to a new page. How do i solve this problem? When i tested using visual studio web server, it dont flicker. I am using a background image in the master page hosted up on the internet.

You will always end up in this situation, since internet has inherent lag. If you really (can you not remove this image?) need to keep a background image, then consider Image Slicing. That might solve your issue. HTH.
