   Hello Amit...

   I notice that are so many blogs and web pages that I usally read, and they are really large and some have flash and others have videos/audio but, they are really fast to load on my browsers...

   And my simple wordpress blog, have no Flash, videos or audios. I have only pictures to illustrate my articles and a few java or html scripts to widgets but, it´s to slowly do load...

   I wonder if there is any kind of tool ( software or web ) to helps me to find if there is any trouble in my template or codes ( php, html and scripts ) that is causing this...

   Do you, or any friend here, can help me on it ?¿

   Tks...

   Ps.: Sorry about my poor English...

   Well...I tested your site at http://tools.pingdom.com/ and the results don't seem to be all that bad.

   A sub-10 second load time is quite alright. As you mentioned, you have a few scripts and 3rd party widgets. These may increase your page's load time. Optimize your images by reducing size/quality as your images are taking up the bulk of your loading time. You might even consider loading smaller thumbnails linking to the full-size images.

   Sometimes It depends on your Browser, Internet Connection Speed. So you need to understand that a person with 2 MBps internet connection will get to see the site earlier than a 256 KBps.

   ANother problem may be with you site. If you use third party Applications than that might be problem as they have lot a javascript stuffed in so you need to remove those. (try using Google Gadgets as they load very quickly.

   Another problem is that to many posts are there on the homepage. Try to reduce them to somewhat 5 or 6 and then see the magic work. That's all! Best of luck.

   @etiol: This is why I made use of an independent third party testing system as a baseline. Your opinion of reducing front page content is also one that I agree with.

   Less data to be loaded = Faster page loading time, right? :-)

   Yes , you are right. But it depends what type of Data.

   Like instead of using Flash Uses ajax to speed up website load time. ;)

   But if you're using AJAX, doesn't the scripting code also have to be pre-loaded?

   Came across this software called PHP Speedy. It also comes with a WordPress plugin now, although that is still a work in progress, so use it at your own risk.

   @KallAngo: There's very little change, if any for your site's load time. Your images are still taking up 320 KB of the total 520 KB.
