I had some people complain my sites are slow. They're hosted on a Romanian server and it looks like the ISP is putting restrictions for the "outside" world. I started moving sites little by little on an American server, but was curious to see how slow they really are. please tell me if it loads OK for you: www.womenonlyforums.com Thank you so much in advance
Hi there I just had a look at your site which looks great by the way. Everything loaded just about instantly. There was just one picture that took 25 seconds to load but to be honest I couldn't see which one it was. I cleared my cache and did it again and this time it took about 4 seconds. I'm on broadband - definately not slow at this end. Hope that helps
The pictures on the top took about 10 secs to load, but the rest of the site loaded in under 2 sec for me. I'm on broadband and in the USA, using firefox 2.0.

requests 244 KB (0 b from cache) 5.86s 200 x 44 Code (markup): This is from Cluj, Romania. Seems to be running fine. Using a phpProxy installed on one of my servers in US, the page loaded in 22.6 seconds, the longest time was spent on the css file and on the large round corners of the template.
The colorscheme is a bit too monochromatic, try adding in a secondary color to your layout. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the photograph in your header area..
If you want you can use Lori Plugin of Firefox to see how fast is your page loading and can compare with other site to see how fast your site is. I have written a review of it here I hope it helps
Loaded okay for me on high speed. A little slower than I usually like to see and I would imagine it would take forever on dialup. I don't have dialup so I cannot check it for you. I think it's the top images that are slowing it down. Nice looking site though.
Total took 10 secs to load all the pictures, but the rest of the site loaded in under 2 sec for me. I am on DSL in the USA, using firefox 2.0 also!
the site loads fast.....3 secs btw i havent visited the site for quite a while (old forum member here )
