    Your page loads fast for me about 1 second. im running windows xp, mozilla firefox. What are you running?

    I also see a big problem, your site is a page breaker, what do you have your width set at? I would change it to 100% if i was you.

    I guess you should use pingdome tools to make the page load faster or Just remove the background image simply.

    Your page is full of images. Hence, it will take some time to load. Moreover, dynamic part of your website loads just fine.

    It take time to fully loaded, maybe you should consider of looking at coding for this site and less the image is possible. Maybe you can compare other site than been hosted at the same server. If other site load is faster than this one so the problem 100% related with this site.

    I too run XP and Firefox and it loaded fast for me. I had the same problem in that the page is stretched way out. I shrank it back with ctrl - just to see the whole page but then can't read the fonts. The design looks really good. I don't see a date on your copyright. I don't think many people will register to play the game. Is it really necessary?

    Always try to shed off the heavy widgets or tools, They always make your site loading slow.

    They site loaded fairly fast for me. However, if you’d like to make loading times faster, I'd suggest you convert all your PNG images to JPEG (80% Quality in Photoshop) since the images don't require any transparency anyways. You won't notice any lost in image quality but you'll at least cut image file sizes down to at least 50-70%. Hope that helps. Good luck!

    Yes, agree Arvin. You need to optimize the background of your site... :)
