Advice on site/page load speeds please

Until you can move your sites to a different hosting company, have you considered trying cloudFlare?

Cloudflare - The Web Performance & Security Company | Cloudflare

Even their free plan will allow you to optimize your performance including gzip without moving your sites.

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the info will definitely look into that option.

Oy. That's tough. Yea Chillidog enables this by default and adds a static asset accelerator for you. This is automatic. The asset accelerator is similar to what cloudflare does.

A note about cloudflare. Cloudflare is an origin pull. If the assets aren't compressed when delivered to cloudflare it will not be as optiminal.

Fast Comet offers gzip compression by default on their shared server.
