  Hi-

  My wordpress site is running slow and I’m wondering if I need to upgrade. I am only going to use this site (with multiple people viewing) for a maximum of 3 months, so I am wondering if the regular format that I am currently using is enough or it would be worth it to upgrade for the 2 or 3 months.

  Thank you for your help.

  Purchasing any upgrade will not help with a slow page loading time.

  Your page loading time is “Your website is faster than 53% of all tested websites” http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/b5twPj/http://mustachebash.wordpress.com/

  However, there are things you can do to reduce page loading time. These are the ways to reduce page loading time:
  1. Edit posts and insert “the more tag” so only excerpts appear on the fort page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

  2. Reduce the number of posts appearing on the front page here > Settings > Reading
  Blog pages show at most _ posts

  3. Reduce the number of images and or media embeds displayed and/or make them smaller.

  4. Reduce the number of widgets in the sidebar and footer areas.

  See here for a comparison of the upgrades http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ and note that it’s your ISP connectivity and your blogging practices (see above) that determine page loading time.
