    My sites load fine in Chrome and IE, but on Firefox they drag bad. This just started recently. Other sites load normal in Firefox. Anyone have any ideas. I'm running the Executive Pro on this site.

    You can test your site's performance at http://gtmetrix.com/. It will show how your site performs against both the Google Page Speed and Yahoo YSlow metrics, which both rate your site a D (poor performance) for a variety of reasons. Some of your issues are server related, some image related, etc. It will give you a whole list of issues with your site.

    Thanks Victor,
    I've looked at the gtmetrix.com results and will begin to try to figure how to correct the issues.
    What has me confused though, is that the slowness is only on Firefox and not Chrome or IE. Pingdom showed a load time of 2..64 sec.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to clear up the situation?

    You didn't specify if you're referring to the Windows or Macintosh version of Firefox, so I checked your home page in the Macintosh version of Firefox, and although it loaded a bit slower in Firefox than it did in Chrome, it wasn't *that* much slower.

    One thing that would help is to work a bit harder at optimizing your graphics. I have no idea what quality of graphics you had to work with, but most of your graphics are very UNsharp, and weigh in at larger file sizes than necessary...and of course that can cause your pages to download slower than they should.

    Moody,
    Thanks for your input, I was using the Windows version of Firefox, I have optimized the images but they optimized to the theme but I'm going to look into do so more.
    When I first had the problem, GTmetrix was rating the page as a 66 with a D grade, after working on some of the images I got it up to a 74. I then installed the WP-Fastest-Cache plug in it popped it up to a 90 with an A rating, so that where's it at right now.

    I'm going to look into changing the default image size to fit the theme as presented because it originally was designed to be a full width them with no sidebar. I think that might cure some of the problems or at least hope it will

    Again, thanks
