i made a WordPress page for a client, and for some reason it is taking over a minute to load the page. The only thing that I could think of being the problem is the amount of photos that he inserted into the slider up top on the home page. It looks like all those pictures need to load before anything else pops up. But then I click on Contact or any other page that has no real images to speak of, and the problem is still there. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this. thanks!
Like #David said, its the initial request (the source for the page) that is giving you the issues. This means it is unlikely an issue with hosting, and most likely an issue with your code. I would go through any plugins you have installed and disable them one-by-one, and slowly start commenting out your own custom dynamic code bit by bit, till you see what is taking so incredibly long. Then rewrite/excise that code from the site.
Start With the Basics
Keep the number of WordPress plugins you use to a minimum
Get a Proper Hosting Provider
Remove Unnecessary Code From WordPress Header -> http://goo.gl/yfRcF
Use firebug and click Network tab to check loading speed for each files

Install WP Super Cache plugin -> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
*If you use gallery try to use image thumbnail rather than load whole images size

I have an issue with Ves Contentslider of VenusTheme as it dose not load properly on backend. It still works fine on front end but we cannot do any configuration as it's control panel does not load the content. This is pretty weird as we have not changed any thing in our site recently. Please have a look at the screen shot below to have better understanding. Thank you in advance.
Screen shot
I just fixed this issue and thanks to the Venus Theme team for the quick and accurate suggestion. I did compress the js&css files and it stop the website rendering the js&css codes properly. That is why the configaration panel did not load on the admin site. So, I just need to go to the back end and navigate to Configuration/Advanced/Developers/JavaScript Settings(CSS Settings) and chose No option for the Merge JavaScript Files(Merge CSS Files). Then everything work perfectly again. This is good to know when we consider compress our CSS and JavaScript files. Cheers
I have searched a lot for some tools that can help me measure how long it takes to load a website's resources. For example, how long does it take to load all CSS files, also all JS files, requests etc.
I'd like to measure these type of resources individually, so after doing site optimizations, I can do a before/after and check whether loadtime has decreased (and on what types of resources had it decreased).
Also, this website requires authentication, so it needs to be a browser plugin, or some kind of internal tool.
EDIT: Firebug, Chrome Developer tools, Google Pagespeed dp not help, because I cannot get the entire load time of all the CSS files, or of all the JS files, unless I calculate them manually :) Each css file, individually.
Any help would be sooo appreciated!
Thanks
Do the following step
step 1
View your application in Mozila
step 2
Right click any where in you app then go 'inspect element with firebug'
Note-install firebug if not available in your Mozila Firefox Browser.
Step 3
you will see selection tag on bottom window
step 4
select 'Net' click on this 'enable' it if not
step 5
Reload your webpage and see .
maybe this is your Answer
there are some online website that testing speed of Website and Other... . if you have a good website the first step is testing your code with w3c validator and after that solving the problems and test it on gtmatrix
and other way is downloading firebug for firefox on firebug net tab you can see the speed of your code and ...

We all know that pre-fetching images can run slow because of browser limits in the HTTP protocol, right? So, I have XHTML, jQuery, Apache httpd, and PHP at my disposal. What's an easy solution to pre-fetch a lot of images, without using sprites or multiple hosts?
See, I have these themes one selects with a SELECT box. It changes the 200x200 theme image on the right of the box. Unfortunately there are like 150 of these. So, when I load the page, the progress bar keeps running to download these all.
How can I get these images pre-fetching faster without using sprites or multiple hosts?
If it's just a theme change, which probably rarely happens (right)? Then why wouldn't you just load the image for a theme when the the select is changed and a new theme is chosen? It seems "strange" to load 150 images of which 149 may not be seen.
Correct me if I'm missing the point - and if so, can you provide a screenshot so I can get an idea of what you're really trying to show?
Hindsight is probably 20/20. I probably should have implemented it in sprites, as well as for many of the buttons I used on the site. It's just that I lack a good sprite editor tool that speeds that process up.
Anyway, the strategy I went with was to use Javascript prefetch via jQuery. But even that wasn't enough. I had to wrap that function in a setTimeout(), but that only helped a little. I then had to fire that setTimeout() during a login form submit. It made the login form submit slightly longer, but made the website appear snappy on load.
I have a user on my site which (AOL + IE9) which is having issues with images on a webpage not loading. It's odd because I can't replicate the issue whatsoever. He mentions that the problem also occurs in Firefox. Basically, the page will load but some of the images on the page don't load even though the images do exist and we (and many other users) can view the pages without any problem. Also, sometimes a particular page will load images while other times it wont.
Any ideas? I've tried all the troubleshooting I can think of:
Check add ons
Has highspec computer
Check antivirus/firewall/etc software might be blocking
decent internet connection
no issues with when running a tracert
Is he behind a proxy that might block certain traffic? Does he run an anti-spyware tool which might modify his %SYSTEM32%/drivers/etc/Hosts file - and does it work if he changes that back to defaults?
If you can get him to download Firebug in Fx he can go to Net->Images which might help explain why the request for the images failed.
I've been playin with Google's Page Speed, and it gave me some tips to improve the loading speed of my site:
http://alexchen.zxq.net/ (original hosting)
http://alexchen.co.nr (URL redirection)
I minified some Javascript files (I didn't compress them), and optimized some images, but it still kind of slow. I'm not very sure if I'm overloading something or its because i'm using a shared free hosting (I know, I have to get a .net or .com, but I'm having problems with my credit card right now).
Any suggestions?
In total your homepage loads 2.6mb, 2.4mb of images alone even though you only have a few directly visible. You should defer loading your showcase images like http://alexchen.zxq.net/images/showcase1.png until the thumbnails are clicked. This image is 0.5mb and gets loaded on every homepage visit whether someone visits it or not. See a lightbox javascript lib such as facebox which loads up the image on demand using AJAX.
Think about moving the position of the JavaScript to the bottom. As scripts block parallel downloading you should load these last to allow other elements like images to download. I profiled your site and the jquery seems to take a while to download, blocking other files from starting.
Turn on caching for static elements aswell in order to cut down server requests on second visit.
