    So thanks again for all replies, I hope that this thread helps others too 😊

    It would be most beneficial to all if you could share the definitive methods of HOW you shaved off precious seconds.
    Secondly, where is that magic button in Firefox? or is it an extension?

    Sorry Lisa, I guess I was under the impression that lots of people posting about a problem was directly related. I see your point though.

    jammo you need to install the Web Developer Toolbar. Once that is installed, it is under Tools > View Speed Report

    As for what I did to get the speed sorted:

    Xinha (wysiwyg editor) is only required if the user is an admin, and using one of the admin pages. So I used php to test if this is the case, when the page is loaded. I could have used EE conditionals, but I wanted to make sure that the code was definitely nowhere to be seen, and as php is being parsed on input, this should take care of it.

    I was using a PopCalendar to, a popup calendar. Again this is only needed for admin, so the same thing applies.

    As I am not allowing trackbacks or anything of the like, I used rdf=“off” as a parameter in the weblog entries tags (i assume this is what was meant earlier allgood2?)

    I also removed the flash from the page. Flash will need to go back there, but for testing purposes I removed it.

    So that’s what I did, not sure if your site is using similar stuff, but seems to have worked for me.

    Thanks

    Patrick
