There is a serious problem.
I have lost half my traffic in the past few months when it had been increasing steadily over the past year.
All computers in this house (comcast cable) and two friends with different ISPs (DSL), with computer cache cleared, takes 28 seconds for the WAITING FOR... to end and the TRANSFERING... to begin. On all computers it sometimes loads fast after deleting the computer cache but I have come to believe that is because the ISP cache is still full.
I called my server GODADDY yesterday and it all seems to be working fine. Loading a big html page from the domain takes less than a second.
This leads me to the .htaccess again... or something in config?
I have reduced articles to 12, tried removing headers, plugins, sidebars, youtubes and it doesn't change the lag.
Remember, most of a year ago I moved the blog from /serendipity to the root. Garvin helped and I think that is what all that extra rewrite stuff is in the file. I put it back the way before adding your change the other day just to make sure.
