Hi All,

http://www.solarenergyhost.com

Template: Rockettheme's Firenze (Slightly modified)

Additional Extensions: Facile Forms. Joomlatworks's SEF Patch. JCE editor. All Videos bot.

Custom Development: integrated with Hosting Software

Other Features:

Three (at least) specific areas of my site that I'd like feedback on: Speed (Yes I know it's sloooow! Need to reduce graphics) Look, Does it make you want to buy hosting?

I'm excited to unveil this Joomla site. We are offering 100% greenhouse gas free web hosting (the server run off solar panels 24/7) We also plan on offering special Joomla packages as well as reseller rates.

The site wouldn't load for over a minute. Once it did load the first time it was a little quicker. You might want to try something like Page Cache to see if it speeds it up a little. The site itself looks really nice.

Nice Job

Thanks Joe K,

May I ask where you are located? I'm trying to see if there are any connectivity issues.

Same here in Switzerland, even with a 10M connexion. Had to wait more than 1 minute to get front page.

Dear Joe K and Yves,

I am going to strip the graphics down and implement pagecache. Then I'll post back. If you would be willing to check it again (after clearing your cache) when I report back I would greatly appreciate it.

Ok, I've installed page cache and stripped out a lot of the graphics... How is it loading now?

I wouldn't bet on it in a race, but it was much quicker than before. I am in the east coast of the United States

25 Seconds! This must be a connectivity issue, correct? There is nothing special about this Joomla install....

Thanks for everyones help... If you are still willing, could you try to view again (after clearing your browser cache)?

I have removed a lot of the javascript includes...

It's loading in under 6 seconds for me. So if it's not for you then I am thinking that there is a connectivity issue.

Thanks again for your great help!
