Speed test your website with Pingdom

In some cases, the reason is obvious — you are using a low quality web hosting service. But sometimes the problem is more complex, like your images are not fully optimized or you have got a plugin that slows down your whole site. It can also be some third-party code snippet that is causing the slowdown.

The service is totally free and it checks all pages on your website and loads all elements — images, stylesheets, external codes; and display how much time each element takes to load. This is a great resource when trying to determine what exactly is causing your website being slow. Once you get a clearer picture of what the problem is, you can address the it and get the site running as fast as possible.
