Homepage slow but rest of site ok.

Hello

Hope someone can help! Here is my sitehttp://www.bigjamstudios.co.uk....

I am getting a 10 second pause upon loading the home page of my site, other pages are loading with no issue.

I have removed the Nav, Logo and image Carousel but with the same 10second pause. I have all the caching on (but I have tested with Caching off as well).

Can anyone see what could be different between the home page and the rest of the site.

Thanking you in advance.

Jam Man.

Also use pagespeed with Chrome or Firefox.

Your lacking compression for one!

Server settings - .htaccess needs tweaking.
