Why is my site loading twice?

[RDesignista]

Hi,

I use pingdom tools to keep track of my loading times. One thing that is odd is that my page is being loaded twice (see the report). What is happening is that the page loads, then a bunch of JS files load, then my page loads again and the rest of the page loads. I've tried looking through the source, and I can't see any blank src="". This is not some sort of error either, because the pages have different load times, meaning they are separate events. This is a Wordpress site, btw.

This isn't a big deal, but it seems like loading twice is causing a slow down in my load times, as the waiting/connecting time to the site is a big portion of the load time.

Any insight would be appreciated.

It's a non-www to www redirect. It shouldn't cause a significant slowdown in your load time unless there's a bunch of stuff going on before the redirect.

Thanks. I don't think it was an htaccess thing and I'm pretty sure it was caused by a Wordpress plugin. Got rid of it and now I'm seeing load speeds in the 1-2 second range now.
