 * My site is INCREDIBLY slow to use- I click on a menu link, and it takes 8 seconds
   for it to load. Yet when I use web site analyzers, I get a B! I’m using W3 Total
   cache (the latest version) and it seemed to actually slow it own. I followed 
   a guide online for shared hosting, still no improvement
 * I was thinking of switching hosts as I’m currently with stablehost, but I have
   prepaid for a year. I’d hate to switch over and find I have the same issue. Any
   tips/suggestions? Preferably free ones (I know I could pay a fortune for a CDN)

 * Without W3
    Score 76% Page load time: 5.00s Total page size: 2.04MB Total number
   of requests: 60
 * With W3 – page load time is 8 seconds, but score is 86%. But it FEELS slower…
