 * Hello,
 * I am dealing with a problem with my website and its pages loading very slowly.
 * I have utilized various plugins to optimize all images, and WordPress itself.
   My site is hosted by iPage, and they support WordPress up to installation of 
   WordPress and that’s it. I have been back and forth with them regarding the slowness
   of my site. I keep getting the same responses from them…”optimize your images,
   and database”
 * I’m totally frustrated because I have optimized everything including WordPress,
   so I wanted to see if you could take a look at my website and possibly see some
   issues, if any, and school me on this. PLEASE!!! If I have NOT optimized it to
   the fullest, then please tell me how I may do so. I’ve used plugins to optimize,
   and then used plugins to optimize the plugins. I just want a site that operates
   at an average load speed of maximum 3 or 4 seconds. Right now it loads (including
   any page clicked on), at 10 seconds or longer…way too slow!!!
 * Here’s my site: [http://www.phreshstudios.com](http://www.phreshstudios.com)
 * Thanks in advance for taking a look.

 * You page load isn’t that bad. It’s not really zippy but it loads.
 * Look at the page with Pingdom’s tool

 * (Sigh, a pox on # in URLs. Paste the whole URL string into your browser to see
   what I mean.)
 * All of the time spent is on the initial page generation. Once that’s done the
   rest load fairly quickly.
 * The simplest way to speed up that initial page load for your readers would be
   to install a caching plugin. I suggest [WP Super Cache](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/)
   BUT [read the instructions](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/installation/)
   before activating it.
