It loads the second time with a cached version so it is much faster.

Yeah, but how do I get the first page access to load faster?
If you check out the link above there are instructions on what to do.
This redirect, http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at/ is killing you.
http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/ another tool that shows what is happening.
This is not a core wordpress issue but instead it is about how wp is being implemented.

I’m sorry to revive this thread, but I think the problem is different. Let me explain again:
The problem: Sometimes (~3 out of 10 reloads) the site takes EXACTLY 1 Minute to load. Firebug and the built-in Chrome Site Speed tool report the the state is “Waiting” for 1 Minute (after DNS lookup and Sending the request) and then it loads perfectly. I really have no clue where this problem comes from, and agin its not a problem with the content, the browser simply doesn’t get an answer from the server.
EDIT: Here is a screenshot of the problem in chromes Network explorer: http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/7585/screenshotat20120329173.png
The domain is http://www.waldviertelurlaub.at and I hav to run 3.1.4 becuase the hoster has a some problems installing the new PHP version. Shouldn’t be the source of the problem.
I’m using the Suffusion theme, which shouldn’t be the problem since I also tried the complete blank “Toolbox” theme and had the same problem.
So I suspect its a wordpress core problem, but maybe my hoster has messed something up. I don’t know…
So my problem is that something server-side takes exactly 1 minute (or gets abandoned after 1 minute). It may be the writing of a file, or something similar…
I would be glad for any suggestions…
Thanks, Konzi

AFAIK it is something on the server. If you run FireBug or web developer tools set to debug scripts you can see nothing loads. No html or scripts – nothing.
And check the numbers here for your site and mine as a comparison.

Can you try a different server?
After you get the server cleared of any problems you need to implement the changes recommended here.

Thanks for your fast help, I will implement the recommended changes, but first I want a stable installation 😉
I will copy it to my personal server, I’m quite sure that it will work there. My problem is that its a site for some friends, and they have a contract with the current hoster so I can’t just move them to different host :/

I copied the page to my server: http://konzi.org/test
It runs completely fine with no issues, I just had to disable the slideshow, its not compatible to the newer PHP Version.
So I think the Problem is with the host, right?
