I have been thinking my site has been loading very slow. It must be the store plugin I'm using, Wp-Ecommerce. It's pulling like 10 different javascript files! Below you can see how many there are.
Would you say this is slowing my site down dramatically? Do you know of any other stores that are much lighter?
It isn't bloat that is causing the slow page load - you're only loading 1mb worth of stuff. Something seems to be causing a delay on loading the page, though. For me it only starts loading around the 11 second mark...
I took a look at goodwynbuilding.com For some reason it took 5 seconds for my browser to find that page Then it went and got each individual file adding time on to that I suggest grouping your scripts, into fewer files
If you open up chrome dev tools and select the network tab it will time the page load by individual requests, best thing to do is reduce the number of requests
also adding this to the head section might help a little
