Excellent. But it was when I quoted it.

The OPs problems start with the first byte time but in all reality, we're talking about less than a second there. The REAL problems are some of his add-ons I think he needs to decide if they're worth the slow loading they cause.

Would you agree? Because clearly with the hooks system off, he has very good pageload times.

Edit to add: He is getting a "B" grade now on his first byte time, that number will be more or less depending on the rest of the server load from other sites hosted on same machine.

0.749s <--- First byte time on last test. Not shabby.
