  My blog pages and posts, your support pages, forums, themes… look heavy, 15 seconds to get open, sometimes get a message ‘you are not linked to your server’, sometimes pages or post don’t even respond…
  What’s up with you. Worried. Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. According to the WordPress.com status page there isn’t any problems their side (and everything’s working as usual for me), so this is more likely an issue on your side. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies and also try resetting your modem/router. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  If this issue is restricted to WordPress it could also be related to your ISP, so try contacting them.

  Thanks guys. Gloomy landscape.
  Do you think migrating to a local host could help?

  I’m afraid I don’t know enough about the interwebs to answer that one…

  No, it would make you vulnerable to the Mailpoet expliot. WP.com blogs are at least immune from that, which is a HUGE issue right now.
