  1. You can use Chrome -> web developer tools and check “Network” part to see what elements slowing You down. Also You will see some errors in code, missing files etc.

    For me it takes 5 sec to load, so it is not that bad.

    Think also about total weight of the site. 5mb is a little bit high IMO.

  2. If you have developed the website then you are the best person to asnwer this question. If you haven’t then you might want to look at the YSLOW addon for firefox developed by Yahoo
