index.php in your theme controls the initial output (normally)… things like plugins, etc can affect this though
The easiest way I’ve found to diagnose loading time issues is in the browser, not in the code.
If you use FireFox, try the Net panel of the Firebug extension. It will tell you exactly what is loading when and how long it is taking. I think Chrome has a similar tool, but I don’t really use Chrome for development myself.
You could also try a site like site-perf.com, which does essentially the same thing, just over the web rather than through your own browser.
To troubleshoot:
A) Disable plugins, test site performance, if not better:
B) Remove widgets and custom menus etc from sidebar head footer etc., test site performance, if not better:
C) In Admin Dashboard>Settings>General, change to 1 post per page (if using posts as front page), or, change front page to be simple like two words, for example, ‘Hello World!’, test site performance, if not better:
D) Switch to default theme, test site performance, if not better:
E) Review system requirements for WordPress in your server environment.

I did a quick run through all of the php files in the main folder of my website and didn’t see anything suspicious. I think I know what you’re talking about Kionae. I may have used something similar but I am not exactly sure if it gave me file advice. I know that my site is loading something from an old IP that doesn’t exist I just need to locate it.
I am going to find it through firebug and then test the plugins and report back with results. Thanks for the help.

I finally got it back to working normally. It had something to do with my plugins although I really can’t pinpoint where the problem actually was.
Thanks for the help guys
