Loading speed of my wordpress site

  • My site’s https://www.rapnews.co.uk and it takes ages to load. I’m assured that the server isn’t too slow etc. Can anyone pass their opinion?

    Also, why does the title image in the header load after everything else? It should be the other way around.

    Thanks for your time and any help you can provide.

  • The site loaded fine for me. By the way have you done the test here – you have quite a lot of images.

    I also clicked your link and it took about three seconds to load. And I have a crappy internet connection, by the way. I was confused – kept clicking over and over (the refresh button, so it wasn’t a cache), but no problems.

    Has someone else noticed this besides you yet? Maybe it’s not a problem with your site but your computer/connection/etc…

    If I’m not very mistaken the order that things lay out on a site has something to do with the order that you have them in your files. A lot of people purposely put sidebars and headers last in their html files so that the content will be immediately available to the viewer if the page is taking a while to load.

    you might want to look at validating your HTML and CSS. I did a quick check of the HTML, and there were tons of errors.

    thanks for the advice. what file do i need to validate the html in? i followed that link above and it said my html was fine.

    I use the Firefox dev bar validator, which just points to the w3.org validator:
