Don't worry we'll keep trying..every few seconds

This is the place to ask if you need advice on how to optimize WordPress to survive traffic surges.

@josefresco Really haha? I thought it was just because I have a cheap hosting service. But yes, advice would be great :)

Sorry for the late reply, the lowest hanging fruit with WordPress assuming your theme isn't bloated is to implement a caching plugin.

This will serve static HTML instead of hitting your DB every page request. There are others but since this post has now aged I'm assuming you have moved on. Contact me if you want specific help.

now that's awful ux. ;-)
