Hi, wondering if anyone can shed some light on a site i have that was loading fine and is now taking over 10seconds to load. It seems even worse when clicking through from google listings for some reason. The site at mesma.co.uk went live 2 months ago and was loading fast enough then and nothing has changed on the site since then. If anyone has any ideas of how this can happen it would be appreciated, the hosting is with krystal in the uk which is great and have no problems, all my sites are on one reseller and they are fine.

Can you post a link on the website?

Here are a few culprits: large, uncompressed images, banner ads, tweet/share buttons, external content (javascript/images/ads...), host going through a bad pass...

Use your Firebug or Chrome's developer tools (F12, Timeline tab) to see what's taking so long. Otherwise, use http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/

Also might be worth putting your scripts at the bottom of the document to see if that speeds up loading...
