I'm panicking! :)

I'm hosted on GoDaddy (I know, I know...), economy web hosting. Any help would be wonderful. The site is pretty slow at the moment (an image rating site).

EDIT: My images are being hosted on S3. Quite a bit of page computing (mainly PHP and javascript) is taking place (calculating scores, automatically loading next random image, automatically loading random thumbnails). The site is struggling to load the images quickly (takes several seconds at times).

You need to provide a lot more information. Which area of your infrastructure is struggling ? How is it struggling ? – Iain Sep 18 '11 at 19:44
Okay, just updated the description above. – oxo Sep 18 '11 at 19:49

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

  1. Migrate your static content to a S3 bucket in Amazon EC2 and serve it via cloudfront.
  2. If you have a lot of page computing (php?), try to use a caching system (php5-xcache) http://wiki.linuxwall.info/doku.php/en:ressources:dossiers:nginx:nginx_performance_tuning?s[]=php&s[]=cache#php5-xcache
