This Website
is loading very slow for me. Is anyone else having a problem? Been slow for about 2 weeks now and seems to be getting worse. I can pull up this website and go on 2 or 3 others sites and come back a few mins later and nothing has happened. Sometimes it says "the sites script is slowing it down"? I have been a member for a long time and don't remember ever having this problem before?

Here's a little trick I use on slow loading websites on my desktop and laptop:
If you're not using Firefox already, download it and use it!!! Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Launch firefox and go to the 'Tools' Menu and select 'Add-ons'. Click 'Get Add-ons from the top buttons. in the 'Search all add-ons' field enter 'User Agent Switcher' and hit Enter.
From the search results, select 'User Agent Switcher' and click the 'Add to Firefox' button. After installation, restart Firefox.
In the 'Tools' menu, select 'Default User Agent'. Tick the button that says 'iPhone 3.0'.
What this does is sets Firefox to emulate a mobile device (iPhone 3 in this example). This prompts many websites, such as ford-trucks.com to send the mobile-optimized versions of webpages to speed up load times. You don't get a lot of the functionality of the full blown webpage, but just the bare essentials.
The downside to this is that you will get mobile versions of all webpages you visit until you disable this or restart firefox. To disable, just go to the 'Tools' menu and select the 'iPhone 3.0' menu and tick the 'Default User Agent' button.
