Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

[dturner]

This is my first post here although I have found many posts that have helped me with other problems.

I have been working on a site and most everything has been going good.....until this morning. Now, the site is extremely slow. I have searched the forums here and have tried everything I believe. Site is still very slow.

Checked the site last night and it was fine. It has been fine since I started.

Site is http://www.dazzlingdoodads.com/zencart/

Any and all help is appreciated.

Call your host and find out what's happening!

But, the old site loads fine. It is just the new zencart that is loading slow. Could that still be the host?

The old site is htttp://www.dazzlingdoodads.com

You've got a couple of CSS issues in your site, though they shouldn't be slowing it down as much as it is... but wouldn't hurt to fix them.

}*/ /* This strange closing comment mark seems to be necessary to get this to work properly */

The above error is located on Line 60 in:

http://www.dazzlingdoodads.com/zencart/includes/templates/Sexypink/css/stylesheet_categories_menu.css

The error is:

Expected ',' or '{' but found '/'. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector

Looks to me it's the " } */ /* " portion of the code, because you are trying to close a switch that wasn't turned on... the " */ "

I am pretty sure a large portion of the slow site has to do with the database on your server.

I took care of the code that should not have been there.

If this is caused by my db server, what can I do?

Today on Monday, the site is fine.

Just had a look now and find your site loads on the slow side.

It sounds / looks like you are on an overloaded Server. You will know it is true if slow loading happens fairly frequently and at various times.
