Seems much better.

I was having trouble even reading through threads, before. Way too slow.

I was beginning to question whether it was a problem with my computer, but it works fine on the other sites I visit.

Glad you're looking into it.

Totally faster. Page loads in 62 ms off of 12s+ earlier. Not to nag, but remember the post I made about front end performance issues and fixes with the new ENWorld? They all still apply and it may be time to look at them.

Most of the problem is the 28 separate JavaScript files, totalling more than 500k. Browsers won't download other elements when a script is downloading. If you:

1. Eliminate unneeded JS
2. Combine the remaining JS into one file and move it to the bottom of the HTML, not the top
3. Minify the JS (google it)
4. Turn on mod_deflate in your Apache 2.0
5. Turn on expiration headers so that at the bare minimum browsers will cache that 500k of grunge

You'll probably improve your site performance by a huge percentage.

Your front page is a freakin' hog

This is infinitely faster. Get rid of that old front page, like, NOW!
