So I noticed the site has been slow as fuck and there were two main culprits
One was the site wasn't optimized well enough.
Here is the first report ran on it
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/forkheads.net/7vbVUmYQAfter some quick optimization it is good and probably as good it is going to get without some time consuming code modification
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/forkheads.net/BWgJ3WrKThe other is the main culprit
Code:

For those not savy I will break it down
The above is a traceroute which basically means it traces the route from your local network to a website (or host)
In laymen's terms it does this by "hopping" from your home IP, to your ISP's network, then to the Host's Network, Then to the Host's (Website's) IP
The above times out after reaching the Host's Network and never even makes it to the Website IP
That is bad and that is the problem, It shouldn't take longer than 30 hops to reach a destination.
The Host (godaddy) has some internal networking issues that's preventing the site from loading fast.
