    I have been trying to make my website faster based on the things you said (thanks again for that, by the way), but I think that I lack the skills to improve it. I even had to uninstall WP Super Cache, because my newly uploaded images wouldn’t show, even after emptying the cache like you said. Therefore, I hope that someone here would be willing to take a look and help me out. I would greatly appreciate it!

    Since I’m currently abroad, I am using my website for my family and friends to follow me, but I don’t want them to have to constantly return to a slow website. I’ve really been trying, but I can’t change it, so I sincerely hope someone else here can.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    By the way, I found a plugin that tells you in detail what is making your website slow. It’s ‘P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler)’. Works great! The multilingual plugin I use was the problem all along, going to uninstall it.

    That’s great, thanks again! I installed WP Super Cache again and set most settings to the recommended ones, except for setting the caching to mod_rewrite (adding the affiliated code to the .htaccess file got me big error message) and the CDN support (the warning got me scared something might happen again :P).

    I just left the cache at 60 days, since I assume that’s normal. Are you sure about the 14 days cache timeout for garbage collection though? I both set the timer and cache timeout to 1209600 seconds now.

    I will test all the other plugins and the theme for loading speed later, when I have a bit more time, but this has been a great help!

    Thanks a lot man! I think that fixed it, the website should be visible to you by now as well, because apparently my fooling around this afternoon got me a password protection on it.

    But about those loading times, I’m really interested in getting that fixed as well, because going to my website like this isn’t very inviting. I kind of figured everything out along the way of building it, but of course, I don’t know anything about building a proper website.

    Would you have any ideas or suggestions how to get that 1MB down? I think it might be my theme, because it has always been pretty slow. It’s from ‘Elegant Themes’, though, and they seemed to have a lot of people using their themes with fast loading times.
