This is driving me nuts!

Since you say you are not a web designer, let alone a web developer, it isn't worth going into too much detail about finding speed bottlenecks (slow areas) in code, suffice to say that an experienced developer (better still an experienced developer who is also familiar with Virtuemart and Joomla) should be able to analyse, understand, and identify suspect areas in code (server side and client browser side), and place timing code to see how long it takes to run. For example, how long a database connection or database query takes to run, to identify either slow areas or potential areas that are affected by server strain.

Thanks for those tips on how to find stuff........I noticed in your signature that it says site developer.........do you know about this joomla and virtuemart stuff by any chance? and if so could you give me some kind of an idea of how much i might be looking at spending for hiring a service such as this please? Many thanks in advance

I am a developer, but this kind of work is not something my company gets involved with, and besides as a company we have little in the way of joomla/virtuemart experience/specialism so we shouldn't be your first choice anyway.

I'm sure that if you ask around, you will find joomla/virtuemart specialists who might be willing to help on this forum, e.g. Los Design (Daren).

Your other option might be to look and ask around on the Virtuemart forum too.
