Probs With Site Loading-too Slow

[Layla]

Hi!

 

I am not sure where to put this. I have not been able to get in touch with anyone from the tech service via the online help.

 

My sites are loading too slow. I noticed that I am on Server 88. Not sure if that is the problem or what. Can somebody help me?

Bill thanks! Darla thank you too. I did what you suggested and it helped. I also dropped a plugin from wordpress that recored my stats--and that I believe was part of the problem.

 

Thanks again!
