well, not sure then what is really going wrong with your site. To me, it is heavy and it should speed up if you lighten it up.

Interesting. Do you have firebug. Install google page speed and it will tell you what you need to do.

You need to speak with you server host I think.

To me it is the javascript that is very slow in execution.
But once that is done, its not that bad.

1. Check with your host.
2. enable cach

Try and check your DNS also.
I find dns references to runningzen.it aslo

Try to disable mootoools from running when you first load the site. Check the joomla extensions page. There is a plugin that disables mootools. Only calls it when its necessary.

The other thing you can try to do is enable gzip (if your host server supports it) This can be done through the htaccess.

Minify all your javascripts and go to your index.php and in layout folder, and delete all the tags used. Remove any spacing thats in between codes. But MAKE sure you don’t delete any codes Just this <–delete me–> and any spaces.

Specify all your image dimensions,..(width and Height)

Install plg-compress ( its available here. It will do most of the work for you, but you also have to do some)

IMHO performance is FUN!…after review of your site and in order of importance:

• add expiry headers

Here is an example .htaccess for setting your mod_expires…NOTE: this has yet to be modified not to set mod_expires for handheld devices.

Header unset Cache-Control:
Header unset Expires:
Header unset Pragma:
Header unset Keep-Alive:
Header unset Connection:
# 1 YEAR
<FilesMatch ".(ico|pdf|flv)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=29030400, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 WEEK
<FilesMatch ".(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
</FilesMatch>
# 2 DAYS
<FilesMatch ".(xml|txt|css|js)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
# 1 MIN
<FilesMatch ".(html|htm|php)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=60, private, proxy-revalidate"
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A60
ExpiresByType image/x-icon A2592000
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript A604800
ExpiresByType text/css A604800
ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
ExpiresByType image/jpg A2592000
ExpiresByType text/plain A86400
ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash A2592000
ExpiresByType video/x-flv A2592000
ExpiresByType application/pdf A2592000
ExpiresByType text/js M2592000
ExpiresByType text/html A60
</IfModule>

• enable

joomla gzip (glogal config–>system – better to run mod_deflate (configured on the server) as joomla gzip doesn’t zip everything…then you can turn off joomla gzip

• enable joomla cache
