Does our homepage load quickly or slow for you?

Trying to get some feedback since we have gone to the Amazon 'cloud' for content delivery. Can you check out www.choicr.com and then reply with the browser and load-up time it took you? Thanks so much for the feedback.

It does take a little bit, and the content seems to be rendered by layers (first the black one, then the logo, then the gradient).

Once its all loaded, awesome design :)

Btw, I took screenshots if you want me to send them.

Great, will send you the screenshots on monday as they are in my office computer.

Just sent you a new set of screenshots - should be in your inbox shortly.

Thanks, we are working with an amazing designer!

He is amazing indeed :)

Pretty slow here in Sweden on first load with empty cache. The main culprit seems to be http://my.betali.st/widget/4qvp5few.js which takes 450 ms to load.

I also ran Firebug with Page Speed and it reported 65/100 on the scorecard. YSlow reports 86/100 with the ruleset set to "Small site or blog".

Thanks so much everyone. Yes, I would like screens if you could send them. john.howard@choicr.com

Loaded fast for me with no lag or anything (AZ, United States)

Loaded slow for me, and in bits. I am at HP in Roseville CA.

about 2.5 seconds from start to finish. 50Mbit home line.

YSlow...it's what's for dinner.
