  Good afternoon

  I’m experiencing a problem on a website I’m building up (currently very basic) at http://www.classicconnections.org.uk

  I am experiencing a problem on a variety of browsers that when we initially arrive on the site, it freezes for 10-15 seconds. I am (blatantly) very new to this, so I would love an easy fix tip or two to come my way if at all possible.

  Many thanks
  Lee

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t experience any problem at all when loading that site using Firefox 20 and IE8.

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache:

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.
