http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.unbelievable-facts.com/2aP17ZR2
my site is making 159 requests, which are too much!
will replacing menu with simple drop down menu help to cut down no of requests?
please suggest something!
I would worry more about the issues with your CDN setup, and redirects, etc.
Note that all those external “requests” refer to all the ad networks, pulls from CDN, pulls from local, pulls from FB, etc.
Only way to cut down on loading things is to use less things!
From the looks of it you need to “tune” your CDN stuff a bit for expiration headers, etc., which should help cut down on some things.
It’s like a train … the more cars you put on the end the longer it takes to get up to speed. You are pulling a lot of external train cars!.
Just for comparison, one of my example (BETA) pages using Newsmag, not yet fully optimized, no CDN:
