Slow site in internet explorer

[fahad direct]

My site is too slow when i access it in Internet Explorer where as it works fine in Firefox or Mozilla. I am unable to find the issue as i haven't used any third party scripts though it is database oriented and having lot of pages and i am running it on VPS. Any idea why is it happening?

is the script slow or the site's graphics are slow ? like heavy images or flash files ?

No it doesn't have rich graphics or flash. Once we click on link its reponse time is too slower to say you have to wait for quite number of seconds though once page loads it loads it very fastly.

The first thing i would do is count the number of seconds/miliseconds it takes for your whole script to execute.
You can store time(); in a variable at the top of your script and again at the end of your script. then subtract to echo how long it took to execute your script. To be more accurate you can use microtime()

Once you have a definite answer as to whether the script is slow or tbere is any other problem then we move forward and see what to fix.

Something quick you could do is switch off active scripting on IE and see if the problem comes from some js. I think its client side problem not server side otherwise you would see it with all browsers. So CSS, external images, js these are the things I would check first.

It could also be that FF is showing you a cached page where IE is fetching new pages every time.

You find that that grabbing a fresh version of the page in FF results in slow page load times as well.

Sometime to check anyway.
