I have a really fast internet and it usually takes about 1 second to get to the next site. But now it takes 30 seconds to do this. Are you working on the site or something?
Sometimes the website is slow when there's a lot of traffic (see http://blog.scratch.mit.edu/). Try waiting for a few minutes, then coming back and seeing what happens.
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease
