After November the click though rate of the website went down to 50% ( as well as the revenue ) - I am trying to find the cause.

It looks that the main website http://www.lifeinitaly.com is very slow to show up the first time somebody connects to it: only happens to computer that never went before on lifeinitaly.com. Can somebody check this ? Maybe some of you have an extra computer ( or a friend computer ) that never connected to www.lifeinitaly.com before. Can you check how many seconds it takes for the website to show up ?? Please try only from a computer / browser that never 'seen' lifeinitaly.com before.
It is very important....thanks.
Grazie dell' aiuto !

It is most likely the google analytics you are using....remove that part of the html and see if the problem goes away...

A member just pm me - he was under the wrong impression that the site lost visitors - The site did not loose visitors and the forum ( community ) is gradually growing - Unfortunately the click through rate on the ads is down on the main site ( revenue ) but the number of visitors is good. I do not want to disclose the number but it is always above 10000 in a day.

I did the test Paolo.
With a 7Mb Alice connection, first time to open the site's main page: 9 seconds. It's not little but still acceptable.
