♥Vger Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 You're using javascript and pre-loading images in a spliced format, and this will slow downloading times. When I go to your homepage the header image loads fairly quickly but it then hangs before loading the rest of the page, and I think this is down to the preload function.

♥Vger Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Okay, took another look at your site and the slow access time is actually being caused because you have the whole of the website configured to use ssl. Mouse-over any of the links, or right-click any of the images, and you'll see that they're all https links. SSL pages are encoded and take longer to load, the same for anything which passes through an ssl connection. Some people think it's a good thing, security wise, to put all of their site behind ssl - but what they don't realise is that search engines don't rank https pages so your search engine listings will be non-existent.
