Guys. Do you have any plans to speed up the site?

It is taking me over a minute to load each page, and that is even when using my companies 100mb internet link.

I can get the header banner in no time, but any content is just too darn slow. It is now to the point where I only check the site once or twice a week when I have loads of time to waste.

Can you give your hosting company or server a kick up the butt?

This has just taken 100 seconds (give or take a second) to load from a different machine, with a different setup, different location and OS installed.

It cannot be at my end.

Thanks Nick - I've noticed a difference. Never had any problems till the 3.7 update, then it slowed down for me but now it seems back to normal.

It seems to be the same for me, but if it helps other people it's good!

Mine has always been fast.

I've never had a problem.

But I run Firefox, and have the AdBlock extension installed. You'd be amazed at how much faster sites load when you don't have to download all those graphic ads.

Although this site seems better, the only thing blocked here is the Google ads.
