Slow Site, how can i speed it up?

[DMcCoy]

I have found php to be much faster on linux/unix even when using it with up to date versions of apache2. Even in a linux VM it can be quicker at some php functions I believe.

I wouldn't know where to start

From Admin Page, goto Site, Global configuration,server

From here you can enable the GZIP Page Compression, this made a difference on the site I maintain. On the system tab you can also enable the cache, since as default I think its disabled.

To be honest, its loading ok for me. But at this time I suspect its running at its best.

Just tried this and no change

Just going to Bump this a little

Could it be something to do with the site it self? Or more of the technical setup? Eg the connection to the server?
