Hi, we're http://www.learnoutloud.com and our site started acting sluggish this weekend. We've experienced no spike in traffic nor have we made any major changes so we're quite puzzled as nothing like this has happened before. We're LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) and the problem seems to be only on certain IP addresses as for the computers at our office the speed of the site is normal but on my home computer it's very slow. All other sites are fine for me, but audio downloads from our site are coming in at 4 KB/s when at the same time on other sites they're usually 400 KB/s or more. We've talked with our hosting company and they claim that all is normal on our server. Any ideas as to what is going on here would be greatly appreciated.

jesus! cut down on pictures and animations! use more colours instead of animations and images. or get broadband.

I've no clue, but I'm currently using a computer on a router, and the usual thing i get when visiting different pages on the site is a one to three second delay of loading time, where I don't receive a gradual load but an actual jolt which i know isnt normal for my connection.

I would suggest that it loads slow possibly because all of the main content looks like it is in one big table and therefore the whole of the table including all of the images and text has to load before it appears.
