I have been tweaking this Web site for a year trying to speed up page loading times. Depending on the time of day, it takes up to 40 seconds just to load the front page. I thought it was my fault.
I thought the themes I was using in WordPress were just too large. I thought I was using too many plugins. The main reason I originally looked into transfering my photos to Flickr instead of hosting them all in this site was because the site was just really bogged down.
