Sorry guys, I had no idea it was slow for people. It was super fast for me here.
The new dedicated server makes it runs like greased lightning, so any problems will almost certainly be external related like this contacting other sites. Seems silly that those social media buttons would actually do anything other than when pressed. I thought they were just simple graphic button that would get cached once and that's it, zero impact otherwise. Seems that's not the case.
