I have a wordpress site and it seems to be loading really slow compared to other sites on the same server that are using joomla. I was wondering if there is something I can check to see why it is taking 30+ sec to load pages on the site. However, the admin part (dashboard,plugins page, general options page, etc.) doesn't take as long 10 sec.

Posted 1 month ago #i had similar problems - 30-60 second load times, wondered if it had anything to do with hosting (godaddy), SQL db, or maybe the theme i was using, or maybe that wordpress isn't closing DB connex... anyhow i was able to drop my average load time to 3 seconds(+/-) by removing GOOGLE ADS (and removing a link to an empty css file). some very good advice was found at PaulSpoerry.com relating to Firebug, an add-on for firefox. using the "Net" function you can see each & every request a page makes and how long it takes. my missing stylesheet took 19s (?) but google was taking 30s+ to deliver.
anyway your problems might be different than mine, but firebug will at least show all the requests your page makes, and that's as good a place to start as any.
