    It's loading fine for me. Maybe this is a server issue?

    The most obvious problem is the size of the page. It weighs in at over 20kb+ with all the images and HTML. I'd do a bit of non-seo optimization and it should clear up the problem. Optimizing the images is a good place to start :).

    The problem of such a slow speed is your site page contain large file or full of code/script which prevent your site from loading fast

    It loads normal for me. Anyway, you should pay attention to your hosting company and images size on your site.

    - Try in different browsers
    - Check your server speed using speed test tools
    - Go for a dedicated hosting

    you might want to run that site on your LOCALHOST and compare if its working slow there, which will help you identify if its the template or the servers.

    Sometimes the client system might be slow; in any case if the server is congested or has a low configuration to handle increased traffic, it will pose many issues.

    yes i aslo agree that if it is not server issue with your host and this you know about from your host company then it is about website coding and scripting ... page size is not that issue for speed nowadays.. check with your host for the exact reason they will help you more!

    I´ve tried it now to load the site several time. (Of course i deleted cache and cookies)
    Sometimes your site loads fast (normal), but sometimes it lags a little bit. So it looked for me like a hoster/server issue.
    The page size is OK, that shouldn´t be the problem.
