  When accessing my blog, mine and other people’s browsers freeze for quite some time. This happens on PCs using Chrome, Firefox, and IE. I don’t know if it happens on Macs.

  This freezing used to only be for a few a few seconds, but now it freezes the browser for almost 30 seconds. Sometimes it’s a brief freeze, followed by thaw, and then a long freeze.

  This does not happen on the dashboard, stats page, or composition page. It only occurs on the blog itself no matter if the home page or a specific post.

  I appreciate the help.

  Thank you,
  Tom Holmes

  It seems that you are showing many posts on your front page which makes loading slow. You might want to consider reducing the amount to a maximum of 10 posts. You can edit this in your Reading Settings at ‘Settings’ -> ‘Reading’ in your blog’s dashboard. Change the field that says: “Blog pages show at most”.
