Why is this site loading slow and why is yslow not working on this page

Same for me, plus the mozbar is also faulty and is trying to load 'facebook plugin' data instead of the page I am currently viewing.

Duncan, 
Yslow is working on page for me (using Chrome). I think based on what I am seeing it is a server issue. On my side it took about 16 seconds to load pre cache.

On YSlow, you have a grade of 82/B in V2 with the following issues:

F on needing Content Deliv. Network

F on needing to add expires headers

F on entity tags

D on needing to use gzip to compress components.

Interestingly, each time I ran Y Slow, the speed at which it could provide the result changed (last time doubled) again pointing me toward server/host. 
Even with issues here, you should not be loading this site, this slowly.

Do you have any other sites on this server and if so how are they doing?

EDIT - Also, if you have other sites, are they on same or different IP address?

[RobertFisher]

Especially in Chrome, the mozbar will pick up the plugins on most sites. With firefox I don't have the problem. This is not related to the slow site load.

Hi,

I ran the Page Speed analysis from Firebug and your site gets a good 74/100. Not too shabby!

But on closer inspection I see that you have around 600k of images loading from within your style sheets.

You could try better optimising the images to reduce filesize. The main culprit is homebg.jpg which is a whopping 250k (maybe not massive, but I'm old school!).

You could also enable some form of server compression like Gzip (though I see your on Windows hosting) to further reduce load times (though it will increase server CPU activity).

Hope that helps

Robert and SamHill, could you please send an email to help@seomoz.org with screenshots / info about the mozbar misbehaving so we can work on finding out what is causing these errors? Thanks so much, and we're really sorry you're seeing these quirks.

Keri, 
Just saw this and will send.
Thanks,
