website is not working properly, too slow, freezes
-
my website is uploading too slow, is it because the images are too big? how can I shrink them? http://www.valentinekitchen.com

Your front page currently has 124 Images at 1105 KB – the sheer number of images could definitely be slowing down page loading time.
You could try reducing the number of posts displayed on the front page under Settings > Reading. Perhaps try 4 or 5 posts, instead of 10, and see how much of a difference it makes.
You can view page size using the free Web Developers Toolbar for Firefox, by looking under Information > View Document Size.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I did this and it is still running slowly. What else could I try?

Hi there – your site is loading quite quickly for me.
Is it loading more slowly than other sites you visit on WordPress.com?
Have you tried a different web browser to see if it makes a difference, like Chrome?

This was a great suggestion. I opened up in Safari (instead of Chrome) and yes, it does run faster (and normally). What does that mean? What should I do now? Stay in Safari?

Interesting, thanks for testing that!
There are a few things you might try doing in Firefox, like clearing the browser’s cache. You could also try turning off all Firefox extensions and add-ons and see if things speed up. If they do, you could reactivate then one-by-one to find the culprit.
