    Review my website

    Hi. My blog will often take a long time to load and other times load quite quickly. I have tried w3 cache but that seemed to add more problems. Even tried Akamai but I can't see any difference in speed. I'm based in Australia but the host is in the US (IPage). Possibly that is causing the lag. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. I cant submit a link but if you search 'humble savers' you'll find it

    Thanks you

    Yslow speed test reveils:

    This page has 41 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.(343.0K)
    This page has 17 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.

    I would by all means try to merge the scripts. Being located in Vietnam and enjoying low internet speed, opening your site takes up a while..

    Cheers,

    Thanks Mizu I notice when I refresh a page the message at the bottom of the screen 'waiting for humble savers ' seems to be there for a long time, do you think that could be related to the issues you raised? And, do you know anyone who could fix the issues ? Cheers

    It's my guess.

    Your site is a wordpress CMS.
    There are some plugins that help.
    What they do is combining the scripts which make your page have fewer files requested from the server. That could significantly speed things up.

    Have a look here:

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/script-compressor/
    There are probably more (I'm no WP expert) and you should try different ones until you get best result.

    I'm confident you can manage on your own.

    Remember, always backup your site prior to making changes!
