Easyspace problem? Checkout is Slooow

[fibonacci-d]

Hello all,
I have a site that I have developed - www.uksaltwaterflies.com - and all seems well apart from trying to get to the Checkout from the Basket as occasionally it times out.
Obviously this is one of the most integral areas for the shop to work, as a wait here would almost certainly make me go and find another shop, particularly if the delay results in it not getting to the checkout at all.
As such, can anyone see why this may be happening, or will Easyspace as the host be the issue I'm trying to avoid?
Thanks,
Chris
ps any general feedback on the site would be appreciated!

Easyspace doesn't do well in the reviews I've seen:

yeah - did you experience slow-ness in getting to the checkout?

[guccij]

No not, really, although generally page load times felt slow.

What browser are you using? I'm having problems like this on a v9 site I've just upgraded but the problems seem limited to IE7...

[guccij]

Not sure if you are asking me or the OP, but in case it's the former, I use FF and Chrome, rarely IE as so slow it makes me say rude words.

jmedinger - i use firefox generally but have to test in ie7 too, as there are just too many people who use it to ignore it...
