 * Hi,
 * I have been having problems with my wordpress site taking a long time to load.
   I installed the P3 Plugin Profiler and got the result that the problem is being
   caused by Custom Sidebars, which is required by my theme. It is taking over 9
   seconds, which is almost all of the 10 second delay I am experiencing. Do you
   have any suggestions for what I can do to fix it? The site is viewable at socceranywhere.
   com Thanks!

 * We’re in the process of improving its performance. Currently you can use any 
   of the caching plugins listed on the following page to improve its performance
   if the custom sidebar widgets are note using frequently changing content.
