Title: Help checking loading speed? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Help checking loading speed? * [tom-in-chicago](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tom-in-chicago/) * (@tom-in-chicago) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-checking-loading-speed/) * I’m hoping I can get some WordPress users to help me check my site’s load speed in IE – [innovatetec.com](http://innovatetec.com) * I built it for a client, and he reports that it’s taking 30 seconds or more to load for him – using IE. I’ve done almost everything to improve the speed. I checked the site at gtmetrix.com and I’m getting results of 95 from Google and 88 using YSlow. It shows a load time of about 4 seconds. That’s how long it takes when I view it using Firefox or Chrome. IE takes a second or two longer. * I’ve asked a couple of friends to take look, and they report 4-5 seconds. I can’t understand why it’s so slow for the client (and his assistant at another location). * If anyone could spare a few seconds to take a look, and let me know how long it takes, I’d really appreciate it.

It’s what the client wanted, but definitely too big – plus not good for mobile.
