Can someone tell me why my sites are so slow? It seems that atahualpa is slow for some reason, when I change themes it's faster. Any explanation?

Thanks in advance

well for one thing, there are six images that are not found.
examine the site with the firebug extension and the net option.

THX JD. I didn't know that missing items could cause it to move slow. I tested it out on the 2nd sit and it worked so I will try it on the other one.

Thx a many!

Hey JD,

I fixed the things on the site but it still hangs a bit. Maybe it's the host? Any other advice on this? I will continue to look into this and will report any findings as well. But I think it may be the host because it's not always slow, about 50/50.

here is my first suggestion. Disable AL plugins and look at the load time (there is an option in the footer section to display some timing) then add the plugins back in and see the difference

also a breif look with the net function of Firebug shoed a number of aborts for resources.

Hey JD, in the future just so that you know it is definitely a hosting problem. It is working now but it was on godaddy's end. Also your suggestion from before did increase the speed.

The next time you come across this issue via godaddy hosting you'll know to tell them to ask if they are on a "grid hosting" platform. It has to do with the db, now that I am on the "grid" it is a lot faster.

Cheers.
