Answer 1

It is because it is Flash. And there's nothing on that site which should require Flash. It is tempting to make a nice interactive interface using Flash, but in reality, it makes the web site slower, requires a plug-in to work correctly, and often makes the navigation harder to understand than if it was just normal links.

Flash is bad. Don't use it. In addition to it being a worthless way to make navigations, Google can't index it, so your site will never be searchable.

Answer 2

Have you tried going into your website somewhere else than your home?
If you try to access it, at school, work, friends house.. and is still slow
It means that the server you are using to upload all the picture and html files... are slow.

If not slow at other locations, it means something is wrong with your end... could be a slow connection speed... could be spywares lurking around inside the computer.

If it's the server that is slow, and if your paying
call them and see what's going on.

Answer 3

if it loads slow it would be because the hosting provider doesnt have enough bandwidth OR the site is to big. Flash sites tend to load on the slow side. I didnt find it too bad but i am on highspeed.

Answer 4

Ditto the above. Your dependence upon flash is *WAY* too heavy! You need to reserve flash for where it is needed! Many if not most (and perhaps even all?) of your pages are flat content and would be best handled and much much faster to load in straight html/css!

Answer 5

It's probably the server that's hosting your site, if you're paying $5 a year you can't expect much in the way of speed
