Concrete5 site working very slowly! - HELP!!!

Permalink 1 user found helpful
We have just started working with a new web developer and the concrete sites that he is producing are working really slowly (probably 3 or 4 sites now). At first I thought it was just my connection but it seems to be slow on a variety of computers/browsers that I've viewed it on.

We have used Concrete5 before with other developers and have never had this problem.

Does anybody know how we can solve this issue?

Below is our latest site:

Many thanks!

If your cache is on, you might try turning it off. I recently launched a site that was having major speed issues, and disabling and clearing the cache solved the problem. More on my experience here:

I would checck your site.php file
/config/site.php

Check to see that you don't have any extra space at the end or beginning of the file etc.

This can cause significant loading delays(like the one you are experiencing).

You could also try disabling the twitter block you have on the front page. The block is likely caching it's output, so disable(and clear) your cache while testing with and without the block.
