EDIT: 1. First of all thanks to everyone who helped out. I appreciate it.
2. I remembered this site PageSpeed Insights[^] and I tried it too. I think it is more of the speed of your page though, but all looks good from that viewpoint. I wish I knew what the latency was.

My web site is hosted on GoDaddy.
I recently got everything set up and my site is simple and small.
It has nothing to do with the web site, even if I place a small html file it is slow.
Here's what happens:
Weirdness Part I
The browser cursor spins forever and then the page flashes up in an instant -- after the long wait.
I decided today that it was enough and did some tracert testing to godaddy and winhost.com.
After I noticed winhost.com was very fast I decided to try them out and see what would happen.
Weirdness Part Deux
I signed up with winhost.com and they said, we'll maybe send you and email in 1 day but if you don't get an email you have to print out this form (put your credit card info on it ) and fax it back to us to prove I am real or something.
What!!???
So I'm checking my email every once in a while.
Great customer service. Oh yeah!
my web site is http://raddev.us[^] if you want to see if it spins from your vantage point?

It loads instantly for me. No delay whatsoever. Service provider: Verizon. Browser: Edge on Windows 10 Pro.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

thanks very much.

Seems perfectly fast from here.
Your LinkedIn link is borked and the Twitter link is lame but otherwise... all OK.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

thanks for trying that.
Very nice of you. Everyone is saying it is fast. I'm seeing this crazy delay at the beginning just spinning and spinning. Even saw it from another network. I'm confused now.

Also, I just clicked the LinkedIn link. Does it not work for you or do you mean the HTML is ugly.
It worked for me.
I think there's something wrong with the Internet, DNS, TCP and everything.

Its on my end. I'm behind a corporate firewall that blocks LinkedIn so image doesn't display right.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I appreciate it.
It is interesting that there can be so many versions of the same simple web page (browsers, platforms, behind firewalls). It's amazing it ever works.

Only 1 out of 5 or 6 is saying it is slow like me.
I've tried on two different networks but they are both on TimeWarner services.
Hmm...

Works instantaneously for me. I bet it's something on YOUR client side machine or network.

Man, everyone is so helpful. Really appreciate your help.
I've tried this from home too (different network) and noticed that early spinning latency.
However, both are on time-warner. Could it be some kind of filtering going on in TW? hmm...

hmmm... time-warner... hmmmm...

It took about 45 - 60 seconds to load here, using Win7 Pro and Chrome.

Thanks very much for trying. that is my experience too.
Just a spinning wait cursor, then BAM! it loads.
I'm on Time-Warner. Would you happen to be on TW also? I see the latency at work (TW) and at home another TW account.

Takes about 2-3 secs to load in the Netherlands.

Thanks so much for trying. I really appreciate it.
It is beginning to look as if it is faster from the other side of the pond than it is over here (west side of atlantic).
That's all I can guess. Interesting. TCP, Internet, DNS, and web area all down and latency-filled.

That's because of the tachyon transport media (TTM) link we secretly installed under the Atlantic a few years ago. It lets us find out which government is collapsing before it starts simply by watching historical streaming broadcasts from the future.

Thanks for your help. Many people are being very nice and reporting that it loads fast for them.
The interesting thing is that it seems to load faster from over the pond than it does over here (US).
Or it is my TimeWarner connection. Not sure. Thanks again. Maybe the Internet is closer to everyone over the pond?

Loads quickly here too, although my hosts file blocks the Amazon ad frame.
