  Hi Lorra,

  It looks like even though you have only set your home page to display 10 posts at a time, you have also set 50 posts to be sticky which means that in addition to the 10 new posts which display you also display 50 additional posts each time your blog loads.

  60 blog posts on your home page is too many for a quick page load. We strongly recommend that you reduce the number of pages down to 20 or fewer, and remember that sticky posts are only meant to be used temporarily for a few of your most important announcements.
