Ironically enough I just wrote an article on the subject, but if my internet connection is so slow()which i think it is.., it has nothing to do with that anyway..
-
I'm not sure what the issue might be, but it took about 10 seconds for me to see anything but whitespace. Then it took another 30-40 seconds to load. -
ouch... wtf...
As I said...HELP ! -
I'm hosting two blogs on my domain, but should that matter ?
Have pictures in my blog, but not that many and have edited their size and stuff, so shouldn't be THAT heavy...
Have had trouble with my ISP earlier,(very slow load..)..and no one has complained about long loading time, but me actually... -
Well, you do have a LOT of different things loading..widgets and ad blocks, YouTube videos... That's probably a lot of it.
-
yes, there is a few widgets
(like those )
I have said STOP to myself on that matter now... enough ads and ad-widgets..
Not too many of the videos though ? maybe just change the videos with a link to them @ youtube instead .. -
It could be, but I think it's the widgets. At least you know it's probably not your ISP, so you should be able to test load times fairly accurately.
-
You are shamelessly promoting your blog. It loads fine.-
@Euro: This time it's not promo for my blog. When I ask for help, I NEED help.
@Unfettered : Ok, Anyway I'll try to remove the videos and see if that help, at least from this end. To me it always loads like a b****
Thanks for the help anyways

You will lose most dial-up users. I counted over 200 seconds and everthing is still not loaded.
You should put less post on the page. I cut my post off when then widgets on the side stop about. -
My connection is 45.2 kbps in case you want to know.
-
Thanks for the tip mikeny07
-
Could you please try again and see if it got any better now ? Took it down from 20 to 6 posts ...
-
-
btw. are there many that actually uses dial-up anymore ?
-
Have tried your SEO tools in the side bar. It's error.
-
oh..which one ?
-
In 2006 42% have broadband. So most people still use dial-up as of 2006.
-
gusland: For what it's worth, I have a cable connection a 7 GB. It's not a dial-up only thing (in my opinion).
-
I would think now in 2007 broadband is probably at least 50%.
-
Oh, big difference from Norway then
@unfettered: just wondered if people around the world still used it -
It loads a bit faster. You know also what slows sites down is the widgets. They have to load from all different web sites.
-
yes I know, but how else to monetize my blog Maybe restrict it to a few..
Maybe make a preloader page with a naked woman/man that's stripping..lol..you think people would wait for it then ? -
Norway? Wow. I still didn't put the capital of Norway on my geography trivia site yet. I only have 1 European country so far.
I'll put it on this week.

Don't worry too much. If it site is good people will wait. If I really like a photo site say, I just go make a sandwich while it is loading. It is ok once in awhile. If all sites were slow I go nuts though.
-
I know the feeling.
Well, it's of to work guys. Talk to you later
Thanks for the feedback and have a nice day everyone!

-
