It took me a minute to set back up this morning as the settings I was tinkering with yesterday didn't save in the database;  So I think I fixed it. 

  While working on the site yesterday I was unimpressed by the load speed.  I have the same issue with the admin panel.  However, I can't vouch for the ISP I currently have service with.  It could be the server hosting the site,,,  or it could be that the frameworks bloated and the server isn't equipped well enough to process the number of requests that are made per page load.  However, that's the objective of Concrete5,,,  let the server do all the heavy lifting because you shouldn't depend on the clients equipment to process the data.  This is where you get into data architecture and the different scripting languages utilized to achieve the desired results.  Then you start getting into the different functions, styles, animations and the gestures that make them work.  Subsequently,,, I can tighten up some of that stuff on my side.  One thing I'm going to look into, is see if the site architecture utilized some of the basic principles found in the HTML5 Boilerplate.  If not, then that would explain the hit to performance.  Script placement and execution is vital to solid page load speeds.

  Something else I'm going to resolve is the jank happening in the image slider.  The slider is re-sizing the photos that I loaded each time a page loads and this is no good.  The top shrimp image needs to be better sized as well because it to is getting resized on each page request,,, and that happens server side.  So there's several processes that can be dialed back and optimization technics that can really help the initial page load. 

So, I'm wokrs on that,,,
