    The site loaded fine for me and took less than 3 seconds to load.

    Try turning off CDN in W3TC, clear your DNS cache and re-test again. You are adding DNS lookups by introducing the CDN hosts but I don’t think that’s really a problem.

    hmm..ok. how do I empty the dns cache? I think I’ve never done that before.

    On a Mac start a Terminal window and type in dscacheutil -flushcache and hit enter.

    If you are on a Windows PC (so am I, it’s only for the video games I swear…) do something similar in the command prompt.

    Hold down the windows key (next to the left Ctrl button) and press the R key.

    That will bring up the Run dialog box. In there type cmd and press enter.

    Type in the command prompt ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.

    That will empty your DNS cache on your PC. Revisit your blog page and see if it loads faster.
