Question

Can someone look at this and tell me why this is?

     I went to look at the source of a page to see what keywords they were using and why it was taking so long to load , and I noticed something I have never seen before.  There is a HUGE amount of negative space between the coding.  You have to scroll through a ridiculous amount of blank space to find the code and the code is spread out so you can't even read it.  Can anyone tell me why this is?  Is it a design flaw and does it have anything to do with loading time?  I cant understand why it would do that and how you would even fix it.

Here is the site: http://www.castleresorts.com/

    Too much white space in the html source code is bad.  It's often caused by doing certain things inside loops.  To avoid it, use cfsilent.

    Would this contribute to slow performance and loading times?

    White space is still data and the more you have, the longer it takes the page to load.  It has no effect on how fast your code processes.
