Greetings,
I am just the dummy owner of a c5 site,http://www.netknots.com that gets a pretty fair amount of traffic - about 21,000MB / month on a virtual private server. All of my pages load in between 4 and 6 seconds, which is OK, but I would like to see that down around 2 seconds for my visitors. [Curiously, in the C5 eCommerce section going from the opening screen to 'Order' page takes a long time, maybe 10+ seconds, the first time it is clicked.]

The developers that built the site are offshore and I don't really want to trust them to trying to figure out optimizing for speed. The US developer I use for site maintenance is good at design stuff I can't do, but I am looking for someone that Really Knows how to get a large, content and Google-ad heavy, highly trafficked c5 site to run as fast as possible without messing it up! I've seen references to Miser, maybe that is the way to go but it is beyond my scope. I am hosted on a VPS at inMotion Hosting and I think that part of things is fast, but again I'm no expert. A GTMetrix report I ran made for interesting reading but again, beyond my scope.

Anyone interested in this job?
