- bobfunk 13y agoSeems it takes you more than 2 seconds just to load minified jQuery from google's CDN. There's not anything we can do to speed that up. Maybe there's some issues on your network at the moment?
- slashdotaccount 13y agoyes. my homepage is hosted on a free server so the server response time is the only problem that makes my site load slower than it should be...
- huhtenberg 13y ago> Maybe there's some issues on your network at the moment? Nope, none. It is specific to your site. I am across the Atlantic though.
