I have been trying to find out why my site has been running slow. I was told that yslow would be a good indicator so I installed this program and make adjustments to many files but it seems that one file is consistently causing my site to run slow.
The file in question is
wp-content/themes/cutline-3-column-split-11/custom.css (404) Expires 1/11/1984 Reponse Time 1365
The 1365 Response Time is out of a whole site response time of 2405 so as you can see this file is is quite slow
The file in question doesnt actually have any information in it either but crashed my site when I took it out.
File contains following:
/*
custom.css — custom styles for Cutline that YOU define
This stylesheet will allow you to futureproof your
changes against future releases and upgrades. I know
you work hard on your modified styles, and I don’t
want you to feel like every upgrade is a total drag!
Instructions:
Modifying existing Cutline styles to your liking is a
breeze with this handy stylesheet. The <body> tag
within the header.php file has been appended with a
CSS class called “custom,” and thanks to this, you now
have the ability to override ANY style that’s declared
in the original Cutline stylesheet.
In practice, you simply need to copy the CSS for the
element that you want to change (from style.css) and
then paste it here. Prefix the new CSS declaration
with .custom, and then make your tweaks as necessary.
Here’s an example:
To change the default color of unvisited links from
blue to red (#c00) and remove the default underline,
this is what you would do:
.custom a { color: #c00; text-decoration: none; }
Cool? Now get to hackin!

I am going to include a link below and the response headers from the yslow program so that I have hopefully included all the data needed. I am a writer and have limited design skills so this has me at a loss as to why one file would take up 60% of my load time.
