Hello,

Recently, I realized that it takes longer time for my website to load. <snip>
Could you please advise me any reason or technique to make it load quicker?

I would like to thank you very much for your help!

your link will be removed... no links allowed here... :(

anyway (I'm not reviewing or visiting your site) check for the size of the images or scripts running on your site. Css design works best. Keep everything as small (bytes) as possible. Also search the web for Javascript & tables issues.

There are numerous ways a website can be "slow" and numerous causes for it. Can you be more specific? Slow to resolve? Slow to load? Slow to render?

Are you using a server technology like includes, ASP.NET, or PHP? Are you using a database? Are you using Javascript to import data?

All the above are a very good start, but I'd also recommend that you talk to your website hosting company. Some hosting companies throttle the bandwidth and speed that a site can use.
