Is my site slow because I'm using redone classic template?

[DrByte]

I just tried it fresh:
Parse Time: 5.151 - Number of Queries: 211 - Query Time: 2.5286067775116

Are those numbers good or bad?

[DrByte]

They're not great, but not overly bad either. The parse time is not ideal, and suggests a slow or poorly-tuned server (as far as running a database-intensive application for eCommerce, such as Zen Cart)

Based on the number of products on your site and the speeds, I'd say that your MySQL is not configured ideally ...

Either you are on an overloaded server or your hosting site has not configued MySQL to run properly with memory or cache ...

To test what is slowing down your site ... turn off the Google sidebox and navigate through your site ...

Does this change the load times?

Next, turn off the Google analytic ...

Does this change the load times?

If turning off Google does not significantly speed up your site ... then you need to speak to your hosting site about the load on the server you are on and whether or not they are optimally configured for MySQL ...

I have a 700,000 product test site that runs faster ...

Ajeh, what hosting company are you with? I still have time to get a refund on dreamhost and change to a differant company

[Ajeh]

To avoid favortisim ... I will drop you a PM ...

Ajeh, if you have time, drop a PM too.:) I think I'm going to start looking for a new host.

[irascible]

Can you please PM me your host as well? I too have terrible load times and i've tried many different hosts.

Also, what do you mean by optimally configured MySQL? I've never configured it, and have no idea what to say to my hosting company to try and determine the problem.

Thanks!
