This problem is driving me totally insane. So far nobody has been able to solve it. Anybody who can is automatically my best friend for life.

THE PROBLEM:

My portfolio website loads *extremely* slowly in Safari. Only Safari. Safari on every single computer, iPhone, iPad, and iPod I have tried.

Strangely enough, the problem seems to be contained SOLELY to my host's server. When I upload my site files to a server hosted by a different company, Safari loads the site fine.

Here are some images to show you what I'm dealing with.

The site loading in Safari on my current server: http://maxigumee.com/HOSTONY_IMAGE.jpg

The site loading in Safari on a *different* server (it's totally fine): http://maxigumee.com/godaddy_image.jpg

Here is my *actual* website file: http://maxwelltielman.com

Just to clarify— I have already gone through the steps of validating the HTML *and* stripped the site completely of CSS and extraneous code so that *only* the images were displayed. The problem still persisted.

The problem occurs whenever I visit my site for the first time on a computer, reload the website, or empty the cache.

I've e-mailed my host numerous times about this and they have been nothing but useless on the matter. They have informed me that the site loads fine in Firefox (not helpful) and that their server is fine.

What should I doooo? I'm on the verge of ripping my hair out in frustration.
