Trust me, these issues will be much easier to solve given clean  
code and
points of error are easier to locate. Reload when the page is  
clean. It may

not be the html, but it is better to start on the right foot.

perhaps its the server that its hosted on, is it a dedicated  
machine,shared or a virtual private server.

It could also be the bandwidth the server has,
It could be the route taken to get to the machine.
It could even be the weather (If anyone knows anything about a  
certain ISP in South Africa you'll know what I mean)


In poor old bandwidth starved S.Africa your page takes 10 - 14  
seconds to load (used the hippopotamus counting technique i.e 1  
hippopotamus, 2 hippopotamus etc, yes yes very African I know),  
then again the weather affects our bandwidth and then again  
google.com loads with a second so I reckon its something else.


Can you check the server loads and perhaps find out what sort of  
connection the box has?
