site running very slow

Permalink
Hi, I have a site running with concrete5, well I have about 5 actually!

but one with a certain host (34sp.com) is running very slow, I have emailed the host and asked them to optimise the data base etc, and they have told me they have done all they can and concrete5 is "a very resource heavy CMS"

I was just wondering if there is anything I could do?

the site in question ishttp://www.lesleylaslett.com/site

The site loads very quickly for me.. I did notice one broken image on a sub-page, which can sometimes cause slow-downs.

If you are on a shared host, then possibly see if you can be moved to a server with more resources... especially if you don't have a lot of traffic. I asked my host to do this and noticed a complete difference in page load times.

It took me almost nine seconds to load the page, and I'm on 100Mb... Perhaps it might be a routing problem from my isp (largest one in Sweden though) or it might be the calls to vimeo in the iframes that takes a long time to load. In that case it's outside your control if the vimeo servers doesn't load as quickly as you would like.

You could, of course, host the video files yourself and have the cms take care of the loading which potentially could speed up your site. There may also be a few broken links, but I haven't checked really.
