    HI

    My blog runs on Genesis framework, sample theme. I made some modifications to the codes with the help of firebug, pasting it onto 'edit CSS' page. It now looks the way I like it. However it has become slow. I created a ticket to studiopress about this. I am advised by them that it is not the content that is slowing down.

    I would be grateful for suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

    Thanks in advance

    I would say check with your hosting provider I've never encountered slowness my CSS unless you have too many open images.

    To speed up the process please post the link to the website in question.

    Thank you for your response.
    I did contact bluehost. They said the site needs to be optimized. I do not know how to tackle that.

    Hi,
    GT metrix said this:

    timeline report:
    http://gtmetrix.com/reports/easybitesonline.com/DLaTSbGn#report-timeline
    there are some issues.

    - 1.97 seconds spent crunching data on the server before first byte can
    be sent to a visiting browser.

    - 168 separate requests for assets

    - 1.59 MB in total data

    since I can only manage basic HTML and CSS, I am not sure how to go about addressing this.

    thanks

    It clearly points to their server

    Most hosting companies will never say there's a problem on their end. Your site look simple I don't see how anything you've added could slow it down at this point.
