Report slowness here!

[Shad]

Back Story
PG-HQ is on a shared host, which is the most basic (= slowest/cheapest) way to run a website. Through steady growth we are now pretty much at the max of what a shared host can support without getting too slow. By the end of the year we'll need to move to the next stage of host called VPS (Virtual Private Server). My shared hosting contract is paid through May 2015. I plan to migrate PG-HQ before it expires sometime in early 2015. Until then I will massage this and tweak that to try and keep things loading at an acceptable speed. So I need your help...

How to Help
Every time you observe a slow-loading page or a page that fails to load, please copy the URL (the link) from your browser address bar and post it in this thread. If you can provide a brief description of the event that's even better. I will chase these down one by one and squeeze out all the performance I can, reporting back each time.

I realize "slow" is subjective, but in the digital world the principle is that if your users are discussing slowness you've already failed. Like breathing, it's something that should never enter their thoughts.

So, let's work through this together!
