  Hello,

  I am not sure if this is only because of my work computer and laptop, but it seems that my website is slow to load. I use a VPN to access it on my laptop because I live in China and wordpress does not work here, but as I’ve bought the domain, the website does load in China, on my work computer for example, I can access the website, but it seems a) slow to load b) to not load the header image (Creative Portfolio theme).

  Is there anything I can do to improve the loading time of my website, and/or anything I can learn about loading times (for example, some fonts don’t load etc.)?

  Kind regards and thanks in advance!
  Gabriella

  You can test the load time. Pingdom speed test
  http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/eInXO7/http://integralyogaworld.com/

  Load time 2.27s

  Your website is faster than 67% of all tested websites.

  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.

  There’s nothing we can do here to assist with slow VPN loading times.
