1. Windows 7
2. Firefox 3.6.3 (and also with IE8 x64)
3. Yes tried all of the above
4.

Most of the time I use wordpress the page takes ages to load (if it loads at all). It often comes up looking like Windows Mobile. Often it takes 3 mins to load a page.

My connection is fine for all other webpages.

If you want an answer to that question you will have to provide Staff with all your details. Every time Staff deals with a technical issue they need to know:

1. Your operating system and how you connect to the internet and to wordpress.com.
2. Your browser and your browser version.
3. Whether or not you have tried this > http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/
4. A very good description of the exact problem

Sometimes it works fine, sometimes the whole of wordpress is slow as hell - what can explain these changes?

@timethief the original URL has a comma at the end, that's why it didn't load for you.

@speakingofresearch for me, http://www.speakingofresearch.com loads quickly. but i too have problems displaying the stylesheets, and it makes it look like a mobile layout.

i've determined that my problem is WebSense blocking the domain that the CSS files are hosted on (wp.com). but you might be having a different issue if the page takes a long time to load. contact support. they helped me resolve my issue quickly.

The URL you have posted is not valid and cannot be loaded. In fact a whois search provides the information that you specify with the "www" in the URL the domain is available for purchase.

However, minus the "www" the URL does produce a blog being free hosted by wordpress.com and it loads in seconds time. See here > http://ismyblogworking.com/speakingofresearch.com

Presumably you have purchased domain mapping from your wordpress.com root blog to that domain. In order to receive assistance with your issue I suggest you contact Staff with all of your details and ask for their assistance http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

It's taking myself and my housemate (diff computers) 2 mins to open a page - and it looks like it was on windows mobile.

Both my website - http://www.speakingofresearch.com, and the main wordpress pages are all like this.

The rest of the web works fine, and weirdly I can ping the website with very low timings.
