The stats have led me to look at page load times.
Unfortunately pages usually load slower because of something totally out of my control: large images in posts that reside on other websites.
The only thing I can do to make pages load faster without going to the extreme of banning remote images... is to load everything visible first, and only load other stuff when it becomes visible.
It's called lazy-loading. And as of this morning we now do it. So you might find yourself seeing a wide effect when scrolling through image heavy threads of the images only loading when you've reached them... but the upside is that even though the server will do no more work and it still takes just as long to make a web page, it will now feel faster.
