I get a server unresponsive notice at that address. Are you sure it's the correct one ?

Site loads at around 7 secs a good way behind at least 75 - 80% of others, probably due to the image layers slowing things down.

Also some of the links are littered with Nasties, put me right off. :(

@GuiltySpark what do you mean the links are littered with nasties? and is there anyway to help speed it up?

A few links to read on helping with site loading : http://diythemes.com/thesis/im.....pagespeed/ read each link in the site and consider where you may be able to make adjustments.

Also the nasties are within the test link : http ://wp. me/ p2WQyb-3 (link adapted so not to be used), leads to : http://15647 .bodisparking .com/hotawatch .cu.cc (link adapted again). The last link a redirect to bodisparking has been flagged by WOT as Red and user comments have stated their AV throws up Malware.
