Try ultrapad or textpad or any other text editor... Make sure that your site uses that particular module to show the new_products, and make sure that no other contribution is contaminating it (eg featured products). For speeding up, it's a case of applying some code changes, making sure images are small, using 2 sizes of image if necessary, eliminatin html as much as possible.

It made no difference. Not sure if I did something wrong. I used Front Page. Inaddition, my site is slower than molasses and I have been making lots of modifications and could use some help and or advise to improve the speed.
