Yes I considered that: I think, thus far, my DBs aren't huge enough to call for it - since this switch over to their new grid hosting seems to have done the trick....for now, I won't fix it if it ain't broken....but when it becomes an issue, I likely will look into the Dedicated IP advice that you have offered....
I also posted this message in the cache explained forum topic but found this one specific to RT templates Ok I'm at my wits end with trying to figure out why my site is loading SO SLOW! I'm using the Rt_Fresco template (hosting with Network Solutions). Gzip is enabled and I also have Rokbooster and Gantry Cache enabled. It takes up to 15 -35 seconds for each page to load. I also have Joomla Cache in Global config set to Progressive Cache. I used PageSpeed from Google to test the site and they give you a lot of unbiased feedback and my score was a 56 out of 100 (not good at all) really though I'm more concerned about the speed being so slow!!! Can someone help me???
ALSO GOOD TO NOTE: Google PageSpeed is still saying I need to leverage compression even after I know for a fact that I have Gzip and the Rokbooster configured and enabled!!! See Here it says I could gain a 72% advantage if I compressed the following:
Maybe someone can try Google PageSpeed on their end for my domain?
