Hi All, My blogs are very slow to load... I reported the matter to my hosting provider, they said its the problem from my end and they suggested me to use WP-Cache plugin. I have enabled the plugin in both the sites--yesterday-- but still I see no improvement. Can someone help me with this? or let me know if you need more info
Try this web page analyzer — http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html It can tell you what things on your site are slowing it down. Best wishes.
Thanks Jim4767 for your response, I tried that and results are as follows: * TOTAL_HTML - Congratulations, the total number of HTML files on this page (including the main HTML file) is 1 which most browsers can multithread. Minimizing HTTP requests is key for web site optimization. * TOTAL_OBJECTS - Caution. You have 9 total objects on this page. Consider reducing, eliminating, and combining external objects (graphics, CSS, JavaScript) to reduce the total number of objects, and thus separate HTTP requests. * TOTAL_IMAGES - Caution. You have a moderate amount of images on this page (6 ). Consider using fewer images on the site or try reusing the same image in multiple pages to take advantage of caching. * TOTAL_CSS - Congratulations, the total number of external CSS files on this page is 1 . Because external CSS files must be in the HEAD of your HTML document, they must load first before any BODY content displays. Although they are cached, CSS files slow down the initial display of your page. * TOTAL_SIZE - Caution. The total size of this page is 34070 bytes, which will load in over 8 seconds on a 56Kbps modem - or 8.59 seconds. Consider reducing total page size to less than 30K to achieve sub eight second response times on 56K connections. Be sure to provide feedback for pages over 30K by layering your design to display useful content within the first two seconds. Consider optimizing your site with Speed Up Your Site or contacting us about our optimization services. * TOTAL_SCRIPT - Congratulations, the total number of external script files on this page is 1 . External scripts are less reliably cached than CSS files so consider combining scripts into one, or even embedding them into high-traffic pages. * HTML_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of this HTML file is 4414 bytes, which less than 20K. Assuming that you specify the HEIGHT and WIDTH of your images, this size allows your page to display content in well under 8 seconds, the average time users are willing to wait for a page to display without feedback. * IMAGES_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your images is 13346 bytes, which is less than 15K. Ideally each image should be less than 1160 bytes, to easily fit into one TCP-IP packet. * SCRIPT_SIZE - Caution. The total size of your external scripts is 6564 bytes, which is above 4080 bytes and less than 8K. Consider optimizing your scripts and eliminating features to reduce this to a more reasonable size. * CSS_SIZE - Warning! The total size of your external CSS is 9746 bytes, which is over 8K. Consider optimizing your CSS for size by eliminating whitespace, using shorthand notation, and combining multiple CSS files where appropriate. * MULTIM_SIZE - Congratulations, the total size of all your external multimedia files is 0 bytes, which is less than 4K. Can you tell me how to fix these cautions and warnings?
ok... well one observation... I see that the first time I load the page it takes a very long time but subsequent refresh are generally very fast ... have you encountered this problem anytime?
which version of cache did u use? there is a super cache plugin which performs a bit better than the normal one

Post a the link to your blogs here so other members can test it, it might be the case that the problem is due to your ISP and not your host.
Its not because of ISP I believe, other sites are working fine on the same host...my hosting provider is dreamhost.com No offense but am afraid of click bombing from DP ..can't put the link here..trust you guys understand!
