Hello everyone,
We have a drupal website www.cerclesocial.org for our non-profit organization.
We need help fixing the website slow loading time. Any help or suggestion is truly appreciated.
It takes a while for the home page the open, and we still cannot figure out why.
Can you replicate this issue, and tell us what to do ?
Website: www.cerclesocial.org
We are willing to offer a small compensation if necessary to whoever can fix this in a timely manner.
Contact: cerclesocial@gmail.com
Thanks very much

Do you have root access?
Do you have root access? Have you thought of using services like Varnish, Memcache, Boost? There is a distribution of Drupal built for performance called Pressflow that might also help. A lot of these options take time to configure and use but are well worth it. Boost is one of a few caching modules available as a Drupal Module. Google also recommends the following on your site:
Combine external CSS (5)
Combine external JavaScript (4)
Enable gzip compression (11)
Leverage browser caching (1)
Minimize cookie size
Parallelize downloads across hostnames (54)
Serve static content from a cookieless domain (54)
Specify image dimensions (5)
Web Page Performance
Optimize the order of styles and scripts (3)
Remove unused CSS rules (1230)
Most important thing to do right now is to keep caching and decreasing your sites footprint.
