Super-Slow site loading?
Permalink
My site, located at
http://www.cyclopscomputers.com...
The home page takes forever to load for me, and I can't figure out why. It's not like I have a lot of content, and I also don't have anything which should even impact the speed at all.
I've cleared and reset the cache, enabled and disabled server compression, to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks :D

Yes, it's shared hosting. If by database you mean MySQL databases, then yes, they are on the same 'box'.
Seems plenty fast to me, but you should check out the "Concrete on Steroids" thread if this is a non-commercial site. It will optimize the CSS & JS and make your site load faster.
My impression is, that only the first page is loading slowly. All subsequently called pages are loading quite fast.
This seems to be a similar problem as described in this thread:

I can highly recommend Phallanx's approach of optimization:

It works nicely for me!

Hi danstheman7,
You have several issues, but site loads fine for me.
Try the FF SP Yslow test.
There are a few things to change.

Running the test after setting up the "Concrete on Steroids" files got me up to an 83 grade (B).
It suggested using a CDN (too difficult in this case), as well as make fewer HTTP requests, and to add "Expires Headers".
To be perfectly honest, I have no clue how to do any of that.

@danstheman7:
just a small note regarding the html source of your site: the last closing div tag before the closing body tag is redundant and should be removed.

Thanks for the tip, does it look good now?

It loaded in about 5 seconds for me... Try clearing your browser cache.
5 seconds is actually quite a time.
Is the database server on the same box as the rest of your site (a common cause of problems)
