 * Please help, my website [http://city-handyman.co.uk](http://city-handyman.co.uk)
   has the latest wordpress installed, and the latest theme update. If I or anyone
   else clicks to go on the homepage the side bar takes up to a minute to load. 
   If you click any of the buttons of the nav bar the problem only happens on 2 
   or 3 of them, on the other pages the sidebar loads immediately.
 * I have manually overwritten the worpress files via FTP that didn’t solve it and
   I did the same for woo commerce Canvas theme. Ever since using wordpress if I
   ever had a problem I did these two things and it would fix the site. As I am 
   not a web developer this is my way of doing things and it has always worked, 
   but not this time.
 * Please can someone help me fix it, thanks in advance for any help given, Regards
   Steven.

 * hmmm… comes up immediately for me.
 * But checking the site on [http://tools.pingdom.com](http://tools.pingdom.com)
   shows one fetch that eventually times out on [https://streamtest.github.io/badges/streamtest.js](https://streamtest.github.io/badges/streamtest.js)
 * Do you know what that might be about?

 * Thanks for your help this link: streamtest.github.io/badges/streamtest.js was
   for DMCA badges, I have just found all the pages they are on and deleted all 
   the links as they were Javascript.
 *  Could you try again, I think thats what the problem was, the homepage seems 
   to load properly again. I have been having headaches trying to sort this out.

 * Thanks for your help Steve, it seems fixed. I swear it was costing me business.
   Whats a good loading time for a wordpress website?
 * I was using a script in .htaccess to help instead of using plugins as I already
   use a lot of plugins.
 * I used to have a performance grade on Kingdom of over 80% now its down. I am 
   on 1and1 internet and my website has CDN. Do you have any tips for faster loading?
