    Looks okay to me, but perhaps it's something to do with the size of page.

    http://www.websiteoptimization.com/...e.com/article-underground-scam-honest-review/

    I ran speed test on websiteoptimization.com and it came out at a whopping '1951486 bytes, which will load in 417.73 seconds on a 56Kbps'.

    This is by far the heaviest page if seen in quite a while.

    For starters, remove some images or at least bring their quality down so that they are a smaller size.

    Holy huge, Batman! I did have trouble reading the menu and header and then like 2 minutes later a background image appeared! Checking document size froze my browser while it thought about it, too...

    The important number though is the first one. There's only 1KB worth of content on the page.

    I know a blog-style template thingie is always a little bigger than an average webpage, but rule of thumb is like approx 100kb per page or less.

    Each individual image is often small like the gifs, look optimised, so I guess you just have way too many. Multiple CSS sheets are usually not needed, but this is a template I know. And 100kb worth of scripts might not be all that usefull as they seemed.

    The page was also pretty long... do you have an archive system set up? Better to link to other pages than let that page get so long.
