 * Are you disabling right-click? That makes it much harder to use my browser tools
   and extensions to help you.

 * Your image is 200px high: [http://onlinemoviewatchs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/movilogo.jpg](http://onlinemoviewatchs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/movilogo.jpg)
 * You can modify its size in a graphics program to reduce the height to 120px.
 * The sidebar width is controlled through this CSS, which you can override using
   custom CSS.
 *     ```
       #sidebar {
       	float: right;
       	font-size: 12px;
       	margin: 40px 0 30px;
       	padding: 0;
       	position: relative;
       	right: 10px;
       	width: 260px;
       }
       ```
   
 * Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten
   when the theme is updated.
 * An easy way to add custom CSS is to install a [custom CSS plugin,](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
   or create a [child theme.](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

 * That means you’ll need to check your math: the total width of the sidebar and
   main columns, as well as any padding and margin they have, cannot exceed the 
   maximum width of the main container.

 * Please ask your host for details on this and provide them here. Simple themes
   like Parament should not cause server resource issues.
 * Here are some troubleshooting steps:
 * Try switching to a default theme like Twenty Fourteen or Twenty Thirteen temporarily
   and see if the issue persists.
 * Try turning off all plugins temporarily.

 * Try using a premium framework like Genesis or Thesis which reduce the cpu load
   on your server. Also you can reduce the server load by paying for a CDN service
   or removing plugins that are not vital for your site.
 * You can also compress the images and configure your caching plugin to make things
   smoother for you.
 * If you are using a shared hosting service, upgrade your account to a better hosting
   platform like VPS or Dedicated server.

 * To reduce the header image size use the code below, I can’t assure that it’ll
   work but it’s worth a try:
 *     ```
       #header-image img{
       width: 950px;
       height: 120px !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * **You need to install simple custom css plugin** and then add your codes to the
   custom css option that appears under the appearance menu.
