How do I find out load time of image other than for 56 kbps. I used to be able to change the speed in preferences. I want to adjust the connection speed like I used to be able to. Is that possible? If so, how?
Thanks!

I do not think you can do that in FW CS6. The download speed indicated in Fireworks should be taken with a fairly large grain of salt, in my opinion.
A far more realistic test is to use tools like yslow and gtmetric, and the built-in inspect web dev network tools in Firefox and Chrome.
Thanks Herbert! I used to be able to adjust the speed and see what the load time was in previous versions but I like your suggestion to use the other options so I will do that!
Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question!

I looked into the other items and they seem to work with web pages. I just want to know what the load time is for just an image. Do you know of any way to do that?
Thanks!
Well, the point is to test your images in a real world setting by placing them in a web page, and load them up to the web server.
Alternatively, you could open the images in Photoshop, and open the save for web dialog. There is a small arrow on the left of the download speed text to change settings.
Thanks! I do test all my webpage load times but I wanted to tell a NEW client the difference in load time from one image he already had on his site that someone put (HUGE!) and the one I created after resizing and optimizing. It would have been just an estimate anyway. I'll try Photoshop. Thanks!!!
