 * Hi there,
 * I’m a wordpress newbie.
    My site, [http://www.microsheep.com/](http://www.microsheep.com/)
   takes a long time to load its first page: **about 10 seconds**.
 * Is that considered to be long loading time? To me it is…
    I used to run my site
   on Joomla and it was much faster.
 * I’ve looked in some posts and saw mainly reference to heavy content (large images
   etc.), but my problem is the time it takes before my visitor see anything at 
   all (as said, ~10sec).
 * Is **10sec** considered to be normal?
    What is considered to be normal loading
   time? How can I debug and fix it?
 * **Some info:**
    Wordpress version 2.7.1 (why don’t I get the “Update to 2.8” 
   banner?). Shared hosted on aPlus. Theme created by myself. 7 posts, 4 pages all
   together… 11 plugins (quite standard): Akismet, Filosofo Google Ad Sectioning,
   Kimili Flash Embed, Lightbox 2, WordPress Database Backup, wp-cache, WP-PostRatings,
   WP-PostRatings Widget, WP-PostViews, WP-PostViews Widget, WP Wall
 * Appriciate any help on this issue,
    Thanks, Microsheep

    I get between
   5 and 7 seconds. I would kill a few widgets you dont need AT LEAST. It’s also
   nice to have eye candy but to much can make you a diabetic.
