How Come My Blog Is So Slow?

How can I fix it?

I recently changed the template and added a few things and now it appears to be to slow or doesn't even show up at all for me sometimes.

Anyone have any idea? I surly would appreciate it.

Thank You

try to use default template..may be your new template is not compatible.

Dang, I just changed the template. It seemed to actually work fine right after I changed it too, maybe not quite as fast...but still a lot faster than it is now.

Could it be too many ads, or too many widgets?

Doesn't load slow for me (whoops, you just changed it, no wonder).

No, I mean I changed the template recently (about a week or 2 ago)...but it went right up for you, huh?

Yeah, loaded in seconds. Faster than a lot of other blogs I've seen, actually.

there is so many post that's why it consumes most of your bandwidth. try having 2 or 3 post per main page. and also minimize other elements such as widgets and ads.

you can see this sample site. it loads faster than any other site. prettykorean.blogspot.com

Sometimes, it is because you have too many activated "plug-ins" activated. Your template design may dictate which plug-ins are actually used in your presentation.

One more thing. It's possible that you are pulling scripts from other sources such as, newsfeeds, images, "sezwho" networking and the such. Pay close attention to those things too.

Opps... another thing! Image file size can be a huge detriment to page load. Consider exchanging current theme images with lower quality ones - easy to do and not see a noticable change when using "netmechanic.com" image loader called, "gif bot." (If you don't know how do it yourself)

Hope this helps.

If you have wordpress, use "super cache" plug-in too. It makes a static page of each of your theme post and loads those instead! I love that one!
