Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

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.

Re: Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

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

Re: Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

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.

Re: Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

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

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

Re: Slow Site - Would like help/recommendations

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.

The learning is in the doing.
