I need help, like many others. I am losing traffic due to my sites slow loading times. It wasnt like this all the time but recently it as slowed down drastically.
Tanglife.com
This problem needs to be fixed ASAP. Is there a service we can hire to determine this problem and fix it. Is there a way to narrow this problem down to one thing. We are just looking for a solution and do not know where to turn.

Thanks everyone for reading this.

GoDaddy is a domain registrar, they really don't know how to host. Plus they massively oversell their servers.

I have firefox tweaked for added speed and even with that I must agree your site is a little slow! Nice site by the way!

Godaddy are not the best but you get what you pay for and apart from the diabolical customer service and support and using the control panel is laboriously slow, I cant complain about my site speeds and have 12 sites hosted on a shared server with them...

I would suggest looking into tweaking your installation unless you already have done! Using a caching extension from the extensions section will help a little towards it or maybe utilize GZIP Page Compression but be warned...I have yet to do this but I did try it and the site became inaccessible after 1 hour I guess when godaddy refressh the .htaccess so it needs some modification I guess to work on GD. You need to look into tweaking your site for speed! Sorry I cant help more but there should be plently of info on the web or here in the forum about site performance.

Good Luck

GZIP does work on GoDaddy's shared linux hosting.

Here is the link to their help section: http://help.godaddy.com/article/4485
