Can I speed up loading?

Permalink
Hi there. I've just started, and have 5.3. Love it a lot, and am very new to all this. Quick question. When I type in my site "www.etc" it takes about 30 seconds to load. And then in the dashboard area, once it is loaded, it takes over 30 seconds to switch between pages, and sometimes it even times out. I cleared my browsing history and temp internet files, but no improvement. Other sites are fast and fine. Thanks.

not let's say, your youtube page... its not the graphics, couldbe the html in your default.php for the main page theme. or your host??

It's both the home page and when I try to edit. Obviously the site is brand new and I've hardly put anything on there.

It could be that your hosting company itself is slow.

I don't know how much you are experienced with CMS (PHP + MySQL) program.

Sometime when you have super-cheap hosting plan, they packed too many users under one server.

And when I visited your site, it looks like you have slow query, which one of clear evidence that your server is slow.

This is more like the question to ask your hosting company.

Thanks, I will ask. I use hostmonster which is inexpensive. I'm just a new site owner and wasn't sure where to host. Thanks again.

I sent a ticket, and they said they were experiencing some problems on that server and it should be resolved shortly. Thanks for taking the time to answer a newbie question.
