Hi Eric,
Your site loads fast for me. If you’re talking about the load time of the Visual Editor (on the back-end), yes I’ve had it occasionally load slow. Not sure why. For me, it usually loads faster in Google Chrome than in Firefox. For increasing the load speed of your site, I’ve heard good things about W3 Total Cache plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/ The next version of Headway looks really sweet, maybe the visual editor will load faster, too! Don’t forget to take advantage of the Headway forums. There are a lot of really helpful people in there to help with all sorts of questions. There’s also a list of sites dedicated to Headway tips & tutorials. Headway forum: http://headwaythemes.com/members/support/index.php
Good luck with your site!

I am just getting started on my project and selected the Headway theme as well. While I am happy with the flexibility, the site seems to take a long time to load which I have anecdotally notices as well as read comments to that effect as well. Wondering if you are experiencing this as well. I have heard that loading time is a factor in getting ranked – thoughts?

Hi Lloyd,
Just be careful that you’re dealing with legitimate wholesalers and not “middlemen” otherwise, you’re not really getting wholesale prices. There are LOTS of middlemen out there claiming to be wholesalers. A legit. wholesaler WILL NOT sell to you until you provide them with your valid resale license number. If they don’t ask for it, they are probably a middleman. The reseller’s license number (sales tax id number in some states), assures the wholesaler that YOU are legit and that they can legally sell to you without charging sales tax, because if you have the number, it is YOUR responsibility to take care of the sales tax when you resell the merchandise. Just a heads up for you, and one of the tips I learned from Worldwide Brands. Here are some more good tips from WWB about finding legit wholesalers -> http://bit.ly/WholesaleTips
Best of luck to you!

I’m not sure but from what I have read, but being in the wholesale trade for many years. I have found recently that http://www.nickysb2b.com wholesale bulk Lots to be a good liquidator resource for wholesale bulk lots auctions. I personally have saved well over 80% on goods there and they offer much more. They are much better then that other liquidator online.
