If what I've said is correct, then in simple terms... your php code will take a set amount of time to execute everything, then.... the html and web page cmoponents are sent to the browser, then.... the browser interprets the html and displays the page.
One of the stages listed above seems to be running slow. I'm fairly new to PHP and haven't attempted to time how long a php script takes to execute, but you should test this and if it's slow, then I suppose you want to try and optimise the script. if you save everything on the web page and examine the size of the file this might give you an indication as to whether it's a bandwidth problem. You could save the html and all components, upload them to the server as a normal static web page and compare the download times with the dynamic, PHP-generated page. copy the html generated into an html editor that highlights html syntax errors - your browser might be having problems interpreting the html. If your page starts to display content immediately and then takes a while to complete AND if I'm correct in saying the PHP finishes before the generated page is sent to the browser then it's unlikely to be a slow PHP script that's the problem.
