Site Is Really Slow

Hello All:

I'm currently having a problem with the John Template. I notice that it is extremely slow when you try to access my site.

I was recommended a plugin call JotCache, and it still seems to be pretty slow. I was curious as to wether someone could look into this problem for me and help me determine wether or not it is the stuff I have on my site, or a possible problem with the template.

Thanks in advance for all of your help,

Michael K.

I don't think this is a template issue. Your first response from server takes over 28 seconds - and this is just a response with basic html. Please verify if default Beeze/Protostar works fine.

I changed the template to Protostar and It cut the time down drastically. I wonder if it has something to do with the "My Hot Works" Module?

Okay, so I've done a little digging and found that the module that is giving the problem is the News Pro GK5 module. According to Safari, it says that the total amount of information on the page is a total 1.22MB, it then says that it takes 10.15 seconds to load. That seems like a long time for only 1.22MB doesn't it?

I had set the Thumbnail quality to 60% but that makes them really look bad on retina display computers/devices.

Any help with this would greatly be appreciated as I am wanting to make this my new site and this is really slowing down the process.

Thanks!

Big images are loaded only after you click on a thumbnail so they do not add to starting page size.
Thumbnails could be a little bit optimised... You can configure NSP to use smaller images as thumbnails. Right now you are loading 456x300px images into smaller box (downsizing). You could use twice smaller thumbnails that will still look ok on most devices.

So the Link Thumbnail is the image that loads first and is in the small boxes, and the regular thumbnails sizes are for what animates up and display on the screen after clicking on the small boxes?

I've adjusted both and it just seems like anything other than putting the original image sizes looks real blurry.

Thank you for your help, I do appreciate it.

Maybe you need to clear the cache?

Unfortunately, I have cleared both my browser's cache and Joomla!'s cache and still no decrease in down time.

Please send me a PM with:
1. URL to your website
2. login and password of user with admin/super-admin privileges (please create one for me)
3. ftp data (host, user, password)
4. link to this thread

Hello, I'm just curious as to wether or not you received my login credentials? I can't find anywhere that says they were sent.

Sorry, nothing in my inbox. Could you please resend the data?
