Is this normal on my website speed tool

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi, i would like to know if this is normal as i have never come across it before. i have just checked my speed which needs a lot of improving. I use joomla 3.0 and recently had a developer upgrade it from 1.5, but now i am seeing under the speed test my website showing twice which looks like it is causing a time delay.

the tool is

http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/dTjwDM/www.in2town.co.uk

can someone please look and let me know if this is normal.

my site www.in2town.co.uk is coming up twice which seems to be slowing the site down and i have checked this tool with other sites and they are fine

many thanks

I don't use any CMS, but I would assume that you are getting more features, more bug fixes, more hack fixes and all this code is probably slowing things down. With CMS you sacrifice a lot for the ability to build a site without writing code.

Nothing beats a hand made site for speed and clean seo friendly code.

i would love to learn how to do all that and i have been thinking about going on courses but for the time being i am stuck with joomla

I would recommend looking at ASP.Net webpages. Quite easy, good tutorials and videos, great free tools. and produces very clean code. http://www.asp.net/web-pages
