I tried to load my website at 1:33 p.m. (GMT+1); I look at a blank page for 6 seconds while it says "connecting to Belletra...waiting for Belletra". I installed WP-Super Cache last night and it's made no difference. This is a server-side problem!

Dasani are you also on ESC07? I checked your website and it is exactly the same problem as mine: users get stuck looking at a blank page for 5-7 seconds while waiting to connect to your server.

What I have noticed is that once that first connection is made, subsequent pages will load FAIRLY fast--2-3 secs instead of 5-6. Still unacceptable for any business site of course.

If you wait 40 minutes when there have been no connections in between, and try to connect to the site again, you get this same delay problem. Is there some sort of caching problem on the hosting server? Denis can you look into why new connections are taking longer for WP sites?

It's consistently 5-6 seconds on new pages that haven't been served for a while. 6 seconds to serve up the wp-admin logon, 6 seconds to serve up the dashboard. I'm on a DSL line and this does not happen to me with any other site except Dasani's.
