  Hi there,
  Here’s the result of a speed test I ran on your site. Your website is slower than 88% of all tested websites http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/b1ftrZ/https://hoopdemars.wordpress.com/

  In other words it’s very slow to load but you can fix that. 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.
