Why does my page take sooo long to load?

  • https://simplymother.com

    I’ve tried removing my Twitter updates, tried turning off my plugin that makes the fancy fonts, tried removing my book list from the sidebar… Still, the page just takes forever to load all the way. Is it something I’ve done wrong with the theme?

  • Lots of loading of flickr images, other than that doesn’t seem to take that long, about average I’d say.

    You have 47 scripts on your site and the multiple scripts for Feedburner, Flickr, and Adsense are really slowing things down. The image replacement script also seems to be loading very slowly.

    Try reducing the number of scripts or combining them.

    It looks like you are loading Google analytics code 8 times, one for each post? I’d start here. Probably place the Google analytics code into the footer of your index.php file, not into each post.

    You’re loading a lot of files. The page takes 18+ seconds to load according to the IBM Page Detailer. You should get this free tool to see it.

    You are loading 16 external javascript files that slow down page loads. Nothing else can load while external .js files are loading so the ones at the top of your page are slowing down progress. Yahoos Firefox YSlow plugin will educate you on the different aspects of what affects page loads.
