OMG i tried your site and it has the exact same problem as mine !

I also hired linode 512, and is taking around 20 seconds to load !! fucking insane, then when the client is connected is lighting fast, i think this problem is not related to our apache configuration instead is related to linode networking itself, and we can't do nothing about that !

i will make a support ticket about this ASAP, i am losing clients...

I tried that site obs listed, 23 seconds to load here, the whole wait on the first GET. Then I added index.html and it came back immediately with an error.

As obs said, it looks like a configuration problem in the web app software, not a Linode issue, but that's just my opinion.

Edit: PS My sites are done in GWT and they run fine.

I'm confirming that it's also slow for me from Massachusetts, USA. It takes about 20 seconds to download/start rendering the first page. I went to the About us page and that also took several seconds to load. If I try loading the contact us page while "about us" is still waiting to connect and "about us" starts downloading, the contact us page downloads at the same time (that is, once the connection is established, both pages download simultaneously instead of there being a fixed amount of time between click and download).

So? The problem is still reproducible.
