Please SPEED Review!

Hi, can you just check the FULL PAGE loading speed/time on http://www.hannahmontanazone.com and say what you think of the speed, compared to how other websites load. I'm trying to see what the problem might be.

Thanks

 

Doesn't seem to want to load for me.

 

Site loads in here! But loads VERY slow. Anyway, the site looks good! But the speed is the problem.

 

I'm in the UK and the site loads very slowly for me, maybe look for some better hosting.

Thanks Brian

 

Thanks everyone! I've been trying to sort out this speed problem for 2 days now.

I've registered with Pingdom yesterday as I thought there was something wrong with my ISP but it shows some spikes too and at this time it's not even close to highest traffic time.

 

Firstly, got this

Then I repoened the site later with a very slowly speed,other sites do not have such a slowly speed.

 

hi mate,
Why I cant open u site?It seems there is something wrong with u site..

 

It took 45secs. to load.

 

I'm pretty sure that this site is hosted with HostGator.com, am I wrong?

 

It did load for me but not that slow as someone described,took around 10 seconds,maybe it's because I used Safari.

 

Thanks everyone for checking it out!

You're right.

 

Oh yeah! Because nowadays, their servers are down. They are upgrading 'something'.

 

It took about 18 seconds for anything to load at all, and after that the pictures were very slow.

 

19 seconds here. Video didn't load, but that's my own settings.

 

Took a while for the entire page (inc. embedded video), probably around the 20-25 second mark. At least I now know who Hannah Montana is. What age is that kid...16? Quite sad to see what fame does to young kids nowadays. Back on topic - I'd reduce the embedded images/videos from other servers, it's your biggest overkill atm.

 

Yeah, I think Hannah is 16. Anyway, site loads slow here too! gud luck!

 

Think that's the proboem? Hmm ok I'll delete the current ones from posts. I've also removed about 10 photos that would randomly change from the homepage, I think that improved it a little.

Do you know any other photo handling script other than gallery which would load faster and require fewer resources?

 

yeah it is heavy dude, took a while to load, and I have a mega fast connection here in Japan!

 

Loading at 8 seconds using 386kbps Internet Connection.
