A splash page is the page of a website that the user sees first, before proceeding to the main content.

Splash pages may add beauty to the site, but are not promoted by most of the designers. Here are a few reasons behind it.
Your home page should convey all the relevant details about the website, in the minimum time. A splash page creates an extra step for the visitors, making the process tougher. Web surfers won’t spend extra time on any website, and hence may leave your site soon.
A pretty picture on the splash page may take way the possible search engine ranking. As the search engines give a lot of importance for your home page, make sure that the home page is content rich, and includes the targeted keywords. If you have a splash page, the search engine virtually has nothing to index, and hence may affect your page rank.

Using splash page before entering main page of site increases time to visit a site and surfer gets bored so it good to not use splash pages. I agree with you

Well, using a splash page before entering main page of site makes your website more featured, but yes, it does increase the time. if you are working with a on-line shop, that is not a good idea to use it. you know, in such rush time life, people always do not have much time to wait , wait for an unknow access.
