My WordPress Website is Slow

[seedorf]

Hi Guys,

I just recently installed wordpress on my web server to use as a CMS. However, from the moment i installed it, my website became extremely slow. Prior to this I never had this problem, so I am sure that its not entirely from my hosting (hostingdude). I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. If so, any advice on how I could fix it?
The website is: http://www.pikatzu.com

Many thanks in advance

Seems quick enough to me.

I just ran YSlow on it and it gets a reasonable score. You could probably do with fewer http requests, add some far future expires headers and gzip all your css and js files.

I have firefox 3 and it took about 8 seconds to load the full page. Whether that;s a good or bad thing is a point of view.

i tested it in firefox, safari and chrome and I find it painfully slow. @Mattvot, 8 seconds is too long don’t you think, i’d get impatient and leave a site if each page took that long to load, if it didnt have large images in it? I’m getting a little above 5 seconds for the home page. It was less than half that before I incorporated wordpress.

well, i don’t particularly mind. I open in new tabs and check out other pages while it loads
