My pages are just too slow

What can I do

[zeus]

I have just moved server, to a P4 dual 2,8Ghz with 2000GB bandwidth, but ther where no changes.

I have to sites that is a problem, both have some flash, gifs,jpgs and they are about 44kb, but other in that size popup quicker then mine. I have also tried to delete the sqls on the site but no real change are there any tricks here.

Is it a shared host or a dedicated server? Not that I have any experience with dedicated hosting, but I've heard it makes a big difference. If you're on shared hosting, there may be other sites using a lot of the server resources.

If you are on apache install mod_gzip so the text of the page shows up really fast before any images / flash.

Also look into mod_expires to try to make the images and css cache for a long time on the visitors browser.

If you are using javascript on the page, see if you can use DEFER in the script tag to make the javascript execute AFTER the page loads rather than the browser waiting on the script.

Im on a dedicated server.

amznVibe, sounds interesting, but Im no expert in servers, Im just a webmaster, so Im not that sure of what you are talking about, but it sounds interesting.

thanks
