Is there a logical reason why this site takes a long time to load?  15- 20 seconds compared to about a second for the InterNACHI site and about 2 seconds for Inspection News.

It only takes me a few seconds to load each page. Is there certain pages that are taking longer for you to load? Is it just the forum or the whole site?

The whole site takes a while, but the forum takes a really long time to load.

Hmm. Well this site is actually on one of our older servers and does need to be moved. I have all your sites on the speedy ones Smiley After we roll out the next HIP update I'll start getting it moved. The forum is slower for a few reasons, one is I have each page showing 25 posts rather than the normal 10. More data to load but easier to read in one sitting and it also goes through a buffer right now to allow the single login to all parts of the site. I'll see what else I can do to juice it up in the meantime. At work I'm on a really high speed connection which is probably why I don't notice a big difference.

Clicked the link to this post; 12 seconds.
Getting to the home page; 6 seconds.
Getting to the message board; 12 seconds
Clicked on "Show unread posts since last visit: 15 seconds.
Clicked on InterNachi link; 2 seconds.

It is not that it bothers me a whole lot.  I've gotten used to having two windows open.  I read a post on the one while the other one loads and then I switch.
I was just concerned that the guy who is going to host my site has such a slow site himself.  (Just kidding.)

LOL. The problem is that this site is huge and has many sites integrated into it (reporting system, forums, site content, etc). Moving it doesn't require just copying the site, I have to upgrade parts of it to work with newer servers. The servers you guys are on scream. 8 core 2.2ghz processors with 4-8 gigs of ram.

Show unread posts has to do quite a bit of work to calculate what you haven't read, so that makes sense. The rest should be much quicker. We'll get it working faster soon.
