I'm so annoyed with my server. It takes 2 clicks to load my pages, yet my average visitor will probably click away after just the first. I've tried everything: cleaned up the php code, got rid of java, etc Nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with my hosting?
How about a link to your site so that we can see it for ourselves and maybe work from that? With the little amount of information you've given, I don't think there's much that is able to be offered that isn't just a shot in the dark.
www.investortrip.com When I try to navigate the site, I must click on everything twice. Perhaps there is a read time out problem? I'm having the same problem with my rss feed
Yes, your website loading so slow anyone would think its hosted on a 2 Kbps line. Not surprising consider DreamHost are clearly over-selling their products.... 192.5GB disk space for $8
I contacted my host, and they've done nothing. They said they ran some optimization, but its still slow as hell. Is there anything else I can personally do?
Its not necessarily your host, although using DreamHost won't help matters. It could be your dodgy php coding. Maybe your should try loading a few plain html pages to check the speed they load.?
I've found out the problem. I keeping getting "read timed out" errors. How should I go about fixing these?
Just seems to be the server you are on, have a look at moving. The services advertising forums a good place to look. If you want to double check that it is the server rather than the site, register to a free web host, upload your content and have a go. Hope that Helps
What are some free web hosts out there? Also, I deleted the cache, and things have gotten A LOT faster. I guess I forgot to empty the trash. Thanks for everyone's input. Running a web site is a long learning process.
If you have a look at freewebhostingtalk.com, a snake pit of freehosts, you'll find some one. Hope that Helps
