It loaded in 2 sec with IE9 and Chrome.
Checked fine here, http://ismyblogworking.com/www.derekswitzer.net
There are a few errors when validating.
Derek,
I also checked from my computer and ran a test on a different site I generally use (http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php), and it loaded very quickly for me in both as well. Have you tried to load it from a different browser, or from a different network? It is possible that whatever is causing the slow load may not be from the site itself but something locally.

Thanks for the tests guys! I have tried it on Firefox 4.XX from work, and Firefox 4.xx, Chrome from home and it appears slow on both for me. I’m not sure the connection speed at work, but it’s for IBM, so I would imagine it’s fast – but they maybe limiting traffic to ‘non-work’ sites too. And at home, we have Verizon DSL, but I think that is the lower end speed package (and we have 3 laptops, Sat TV, PS3 all going through our Wireless network) which MAY explain that too.
If anyone is local to Harrisburg, PA that can test in Firefox/Chrome that would be awesome also!
But I’m glad that so far is sounds like it is just something local, as I really don’t like my sites to load THAT LONG. Thanks again, keep them coming if you got em! 😉
