 * I sent this to WordPress a couple of days ago and have not received a reply, 
   so I’m sending this request for help again.
 * I sent this email to Photocrati this morning and wanted to send it to WordPress
   as well. I bought the right to use a Photoocrati WordPress Theme and I’m not 
   happy with how slow the images load on the pages. So far, I’ve only created a
   home page with 18 thumbnails, a contact page and Joy page with a single image
   on each page, and I’ve added text via Facebook to add a like button on my blog
   page.
    When I load the site itself, it takes about 7-8 seconds to load and then
   it takes another 16-17 seconds to load the thumbnails. That’s too slow. When 
   I work on my dashboard it takes forever for the edits to take place and often
   when it’s done it alerts me that their are errors.
 * I’m really frustrated and I’ve been in contact with Photocrati a few times and
   all I get back is they can’t see any problems.
 * I tried visiting the site this morning and it took a bit before it loaded. Once
   the home page loaded it took way too long for the thumbnails to be displayed.
   When I click on the Contact page, it loaded quickly but the image took forever
   to load. Same thing happens when click the Joy page. The single image takes forever
   to load. On the Blog page my Facebook Like Button takes forever to appear. Somethings
   not right.
    I have another website [http://www.jcpetography.ca](http://www.jcpetography.ca)
   that is also hosted with Netfirms and I also view through Windows Internet Explorer
   and it loads fast. Switching pages is instantaneous and images load very fast,
   so speed is not an issue through Netfirms or Windows Internet Explorer. Even 
   when I’m making edits to my new site on my Dashboard it’s painfully slow. It’s
   just not acceptable. I think its the template, maybe its corrupted or something.
   What next,

 * Without seeing your site it’s kind of difficult to comment. Also your other site
   isn’t a WordPress site so you can’t really compare the two.
 * It may be the theme and it may not be. There could be other factors affecting
   the speed such as plugins, caching etc.
 * You could always try another theme to see if your current theme is actually the‘
   problem’. However if even making edits in your dashboard is slow, that would 
   suggest it may not be the theme, and could be your web hosting setup or something
   else.
