I'm guessing the you're talking about the '
Squaretle' template here. I have already found out why the demo loads very slow, even if its hosted on VPS. The cause of the slow loading time was the "Add This To..." or in the demo "Share This". It's because "Share This" contains 30 icons for social bookmarking sites. But it's not only 30 icons. On the main page, it has a "Featured News" which contains 10 news. Thus, the number of icons loaded in the "Featured News" is
30 icons x 10 news = 300 icons - you can imagine how would it affect the loading time.
Plus, it has also 10 news on the frontpage. Thus, an additional
30 x 10 = 300 icons will be loaded.
In total, there are
600 social bookmarking icons loaded in the frontpage of "
Squaretle" template and that's why it laods very slow.
I have disabled the "Share This" and the load time is great. You can test the demo here:
