My site loads extremely slowly
electronicmonkey - October 22, 2008 - 14:30
I have disabled all unused modules and enabled cache (not aggressive as I use some modules that may not work in this mode),. I have also reduced all images to maximum of 4k . I thought TinyMCE could be contributing a lot to the speed and therefore disabled it . Yet loading even the admin pages takes all of eternity. Can anyone tell me what more can be done ?

you'll need to flesh this out a bit to explain more about the environment you are running in.
localhost?
shared server?
dedicated? or VPS?
amount of RAM available?
Thanks. 1. shared

use yslow
Use yslow (a firefox addon) and check what component takes the most time to download. This may give a hint about the problem.
Also have you tried,
css/java script aggrgation
css sprites to reduce the number of images to be loaded

css/java script
css/java script aggrgation
css sprites to reduce the number of images to be loaded
how do these work please ?
css aggregation - Instead of
css aggregation -
Instead of sending multiple css files for a request, all the css rules are aggregated into a single file and the number of http request is reduced.
i guess drupal has an option in the performance settings page to turn this on
java script aggregation - for drupal 5.x use the module
http://drupal.org/project/javascript_aggregator
It also helps, if the content is delivered as a zipped file. This can be done either by
1. enabling the apache module mod_gzip
for more info take a look at
http://schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm
2. If your hosting provider doesn't have this module installed then use
http://drupal.org/project/smartcache
For css sprites - you are aggregating images into a single file. just google for "css cprites"

Yslow shows me a javascript
Yslow shows me a javascript file that doesn't exist but clocking up a lot of resp time (10859) anyway.

have you tried clearing your db cache
niftycube.js seems to come from nifty corners.module. Is it possible this was manually add to the head sections of one or more of your tpl.php pages ?
