Not trying to be a pinhead but, it doesn't matter what platform it is or what update it has, it is nearly 6 megabytes. It's the content, not the platform. That is equivalent to downloading three music numbers, mp3 format. Show me a fat page and I will show you a slow page, every time.
You can trim 3.8 MB off that just by using gzip compression. There's another 600kb savings available compressing the images. Neither of these has anything to do with upgrading the platform.
I did a few speed tests and they said Yard Barker is loading slowly.
I am going to contact Yard Barker and see if I can get out of the signed contract.
Since adding Yard Barker my Google ads has dropped a lot. Hopefully that will speed the site up a bit.
Thats for your feedback. Improving loading time is something I am looking to do once I have some spare cash.

Or change the background to #E9E9E9 which is the same as your main background (although I'd remove the gradient then). That might also work if you want to keep the red navbar.
