I created a blank template on Posterous that loads nothing but their files and it has 42 request. Page took 7.60 sec to load with a primed cache.<p>Couldn't some of these be merged, minified or conditional?<p>Here's a screenshot http://dl.dropbox.com/u/558799/jing/2011-03-30_1428.png<p>Posterous is a great service but page loads take forever.
Hi Johnny<p>Most sites are loading very quickly for me. What is your site url?<p>We varnish all site pages, so maybe when you went to the site the first time it wasn't cached, but it should be now.<p>Let me know and we'll take care of it<p>-Sachin

I've noticed that as well, last time my posterous was linked to on HN several people in #startups noted that it was quite slow.<p>At a guess if Sachin's not seeing it, it may be down to the TCP config on the fronting server, if it's badly setup it can vastly increase the number of network roundtrip data takes to be sent, so people on more remote networks (i.e in Europe/Asia) may well see significantly slower times.
