So how do you improve your perceived download time?

那么，如何减少“可感知的下载时间”。

Simple, you break the content of your page down into two or more tables.

很简单，把网页内容分隔成两个或多个表格。

You see, web browsers will not start displaying the contents of a table until it has compiled the entire table to the end. Once a table is compiled it will display, and the browser will start compiling the next table.

只有表格下载完毕，浏览器才会呈现表格内容。第一个表格呈现出来以后，浏览器逐渐呈现其余表格，第二个、第三个……

That means that if you place the entire contents of your page inside one big table, the browser will have to compile the entire contents of your page before anything will be displayed. The result: your visitor spends all that time staring at a blank screen.

这就意味着，如果网页内容设置在一个大表格中，访问者必须等待很长时间，才能浏览到网页内容，也就是说访问者需要长时间浏览空白屏幕。
