Does my website load fast enough?

    Hi folks,

    I was just wondering if my site loaded fast enough. I have a feeling it can get quite slow at times because my host is quite a budget one.

    Could someone please tell me the page generation time they get at the bottom of the page on:

    http://www.theunishop.com

    Also, could you please let me know if it all fits in your screen? I had a bit of trouble getting everything to fit in 800*600, but only in Opera and IE...

    Cheers,

    Sham.

    I am on business DSL in B.C. Canada and the site loaded quite quickly on MSIE. It looks interesting, as well.

    It loads pretty fast for me. It's only text, after all.

    You can try Media Temple if you're not sure about your current hosting.
