Most of the pages on my site have decent load time, but this blog page http://www.innerfortune.com/blog is taking about 40 seconds to load. Can someone help??

hmm, well, if I do load it, it takes about 6 to 8 seconds.
Sure, there wasn't someone downloading on your network?

Tried to active caching in drupal?

I can see that the CSS has not been optimized for speeding up page load times.

#Containeral which is the grandparent container of #header is actually declared below #header in the style sheet thereby slowing down the page load by a small amount by rendering header before rendering its grandparent container (slower computers may take a longer time to render a page whose style sheet isn't ordered for speedier rendering.)

The page did load in around 10 seconds for me. It could have been server problems that added the extra 30 seconds on your timer?

or the google-analytics scripts could have added more load on your page.

you can try firefox with firebug add-on to measure the load times (it is the Net tab in firebug)

Page load time is 12.34s with firebug.

I have had this problem for some time now and it has always been about 35 seconds (not related to downloads). Can you explain the process of active caching - or share a link? Thanks.

Sorry, ment to write 'did you activate caching'?

There is a settings page for it: admin/settings/performance

Try to set caching to 'normal'; standard mode is 'disabled'.

Keep in mond, that this will improve your sites loading performance but might have unwanted side effects, as
there are some modules, which are not compatible to caching at all.
