Slow website; what's your take on this?

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I've specified cache control in the .htaccess file as suggested.

But your comment did make me realise something; the one week cache for HTML might be too low. In an extreme case, an unlucky visitor from a geographical region from which very little traffic comes can be presented with all slow pages because none of the pages he/she requests are in the most nearby CF data centre.

Don't know if this can explain everything, but does probably play a role.

I've set HTML to expire in six weeks now (other resources @ 6 months).
