 * I have a wordpress site and it seems to be loading really slow compared to other
   sites on the same server that are using joomla. I was wondering if there is something
   I can check to see why it is taking 30+ sec to load pages on the site. However,
   the admin part (dashboard,plugins page, general options page, etc.) doesn’t take
   as long 10 sec.

 * i had similar problems – 30-60 second load times, wondered if it had anything
   to do with hosting (godaddy), SQL db, or maybe the theme i was using, or maybe
   that wordpress isn’t closing DB connex… anyhow i was able to drop my average 
   load time to 3 seconds(+/-) by removing GOOGLE ADS (and removing a link to an
   empty css file). some very good advice was found at [PaulSpoerry.com](http://www.paulspoerry.com/index.php/2007/08/04/diagnose-slow-wordpress-performance-using-firebug/)
   relating to Firebug, an add-on for firefox. using the “Net” function you can 
   see each & every request a page makes and how long it takes. my missing stylesheet
   took 19s (?) but google was taking 30s+ to deliver.
 * anyway your problems might be different than mine, but firebug will at least 
   show all the requests your page makes, and that’s as good a place to start as
   any.

 * If you “don’t want to remove” those items that are obviously slowing down the
   loading of your site, you are pretty much on your own. There is a fix and you
   don’t want to take advantage of it? As an aside – _anything_ connected to Google
   will have an immediate and most times very negative effect on page loads – especially
   googleads.
 * I guess it depends on the purpose of your site – to inform, or to try and make
   money. Your choice there.
 * On ultra high speed fiber, it took almost 30 seconds for your site to load completely
   in my browser. Had I been a casual visitor I would have aborted and looked elsewhere.
