Hey guys.

So ever since I've installed my second new theme, my forum started playing up, and making it ages to load!

My users are annoyed and so am I, is there a possible fix for this? I've cleared forum cache ect ect.

Here's the forum for you to see.

Thanks.
Get a new host.

No. I'm currently using Hostgator and I've never had a problem. The rest of my website load extremely quick. Whereas the forum takes forever.
Could you post the debug stats from your footer please? Also, it does seem to be something related to your host. I'm getting a time latency of 30.93 seconds - which is pretty high.

Erm, where would I get that kind of info?

Maybe, I'm missing it but you can try look? http://www.avenged-pkz.com/forums/

Edit: But this started occurring as soon I installed my new theme. And surely if the forum would be going slow, the whole site should be too.. Considering it's under my host?
It's only shown to logged in administrators. It should be right at the bottom of the page.

Also check my edit to the above reply.

You want to fix some of those issues (use firebug + pagespeed) to analyse the problem more.
Getting those all to A/B's is very important but it wont fix the long long loading times you are having now.

Also do what euantor said post the debug stats, might also want to all your plugins.
LMFAO....

It was caused by No Proxy Please Pluggin. I haven't installed it correctly. I've fixed it. Thank you.
402 kb background image needs to go:

GZipping might help as well.
That is a huge increase in page speed again. Still want to fix some of the other issues from the gtmetrix/pagespeed analysis.
