You have 76 objects requested on pageload of main page, from the link I posted earlier. Many of the later ones which are slowing you down, using most bandwidth and CPU, are third party applications, images, mostly from google and youtube. In the image below I grabbed from the link, you can see them numbered 45, 54, 55, 65, and 67-76.



I am not familiar with most of these and don't know their purpose, but I do know they increase your load time, bandwidth usage and CPU utilization way out of proportion to your native calls. (Note the graphs at bottom.)

Third party objects will load or complete only as fast as their own 3rd party server lets them. So that if google or youtube is really slow, you're going to be really slow as a result.

But again like Superman said - your speed isn't atrocious. Everything is loading in under 4 seconds. It's nothing to lose sleep over, but by contrast my site does only 34 calls and loads in just under one second, very consistently. But then again, I have made it a point to achieve that speed.

The thing is, every ticker I have seen no matter if it's third party or not, relies on the USER'S resources, not yours. Making THEIR CPU do all the work, and using THEIR bandwidth.
