I'm not getting jack-squat for hits. Any ideas?

@CoffeeFiend That DOES look like a cool Starbucks. I love looking up pics of American brands in foreign countries, too. A Navy friend of my sister sent her a gift package for Christmas. We were about to eat the Snickers bars when I noticed they had Arabic written on them!! @cluberti THAT'S specific! What's the name? You got any websites besides cluberti.com? How much traffic do you get?

Thanks for the input, guys! @CoffeeFiend, I had no idea Starbucks in Canada were like McDonald's in Russia! Dude! I looked at the suggestions that both of you make, but all those lines of code have 'themes' and 'premium news' in them. I'm pretty sure trying to skirt around them would break my theme somehow. So, I'm satisfied with the current performance of the webpage as is. Do either of you have your own websites?

K, I'll see what I can do. Thx. Btw, CoffeeFiend, I just posted about free coffee at Starbucks tomorrow... did you know about that one?

PS... Yeah, GoDaddy hosts around 3,000 websites. That's a lot. And I've noticed the speed DOES go up and down at various points in the day. I'm seriously considering a switch. Any suggestions? I've set WP Super Cache to hold pages for 'one hour'. Should I go longer?

Thanks for all the input, guys! (Hey, kel, nice to see you!!) I've installed the following plugins: WP Super Cache - This plugin is supposed to cache pages, as well as compress them (gzip). A quick-check of the source code from the page seems to indicate it's working (I think) Use Google Libraries - To use Google CDN libraries for java, instead of getting the java from Wordpress Are they working well? @CoffeeFiend, cluberti... Do you notice any speed improvements?

I'm using GoDaddy hosting. I've been thinking I might need to switch. However, the page loads up fairly quickly for me here in Houston. Maybe it just needs to be propogated somehow? There's a WordPress plugin called 'W3 Cache' that caches your page. It's supposed to make it faster. I tried it for a day, but it messed up my WordPress theme, lol. What's your connection speed? What's gzip? And... is there really that much javascript? I haven't sniffed around all the WP files yet, so I honestly don't know.

Hi, all! I just started a new website this week, and would REALLY appreciate ANY comments and thoughts from all of you. It's been a while since I've posted here, but I know all of you are an extremely talented and intelligent group of people, and I would truly value your opinions! Also, I may be looking for article contributors. Here's the site: http://skeetabyte.com Thx!!
