Any wordpress developers out there?

We have a custom wordpress site that has been acting very very slow, and I think it may be an issue with the theme (we had someone write it for us but he might not have been the world's best programmer).

I'm looking for someone who would be able to take a look and tell us what the issue is and how to fix it. For the right person, we'd be willing to pay.

Anyone?

What's the website? Has it always been slow or just recently?

BTDT - but it's very hard to tell what's a real issue and what's just a wordpress thing. I did a ton of research already and am ready to ask someone more knowledgeable at this point :).

Feel free to send PM.

I got http://hipsim.com to load in less than 1.3 seconds.  (most of the wordpress sites i build load in less than 2s)

Off the top of my head, here are some things you should look out for.
First, Run it through http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt and see if you can find any lags in the waterfall.
Second, Disable all plugins and run another test above.
Third, Install W3 Cache plugin or something similar, there are several good ones out there.

I've done all that already :) and tried a bunch of caching plugins, and nothing worked. That's why I have a feeling it's the theme that's poorly written, and that's why I'm looking for an expert at this point.

there is a website out there that charges a set amount to find you a domain name. basically you write what you are looking for and any other particulars and then lots of people try to find something that your happy with. the site is mainly the middleman. the only problem is i cant seem to find the site now, i had seen it once linked from an article about the amount of money the young founder made. if anyone knows what the heck im talking about you would make my day. thanks

GoDaddy has such a service.
But you have to pay in advance.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

There is a specific website I'm looking for. I liked the idea of creative crowd outsourcing

While I would love to as I think I would get some good suggestions, being that it is a business idea too I would rather not mention it on a public forum
