    It took about 4 seconds for me. At the moment I have a 5MB connection speed so that may be why it loaded a bit slow. I hate how I don't get the speed I pay for.

    Are you hosted on a popular host because I feel they run the fastest servers...

    That loaded very slowly for me as well-I am running about 10MB connection-but it is taking quite a few seconds for pages to load. Once the page had loaded the banner took a slight delay in loading also.
    Also you have a spelling mistake-should read 'coming soon' in the bottom banner on the homepage.

    Hi,
    I just briefly studied your eCommerce website and here is my input:
    • Home page description is very long (there is no point to write keyword rich meta description).
    • You should keep java script in separate file and include them when require
    • Meta tags are not optimized
    • I tried to check shopping cart functionality and was socked to see that, it ask me to keep minimum 10 products in cart !!
    Apart from these, there are various small and big factors that should be taken care of.
    all the best !!

    anniversary gifts

    I wanted to buy a dyson vacuum cleaner. I heard of myshopping from a friend and decided it couldn't hurt to jump on and have a look, knowing how expensive they are. I normally do my research via google and try to find the best prices from there. But i found that the shops that were listed on google search was pretty much all the shops that were listed on the myshopping site.

    Here is small test of your site http://www.craftalaya.com speed, take a look, analyze results and make improvements. This is BEST way (better that asking individual people "how fast my site loads on your PC"
    it says 15 seconds full load first time and 6 seconds in repeated load:

    When buying stuff online, what eventually will convince me are the costumer reviews.

    Maybe allow people to write reviews on product etc.? or make a page with quotes people have given over your service? like "Awesome fast delivery" etc.

    For speed optimization you can do following:

    1. Enable Caching
    2. Enable Compilation
    3. Use Magento optimized server (Litespeed instead of standard Apache)
    4. Optimize your banner image size.
