ie8 opens very slow to the home page

Opening ie8 is slow but after it is up is is super fast

Try with IE (no add-ons) and see whether that is the same. You find this IE in All Programs > Accessories > System Tools. If that works OK, you have to sift thru your add-ons.
Another thing - set the home page to "blank" and see what happens. If this works OK, then it could be the server of your home page.

dont know what i did but it is good thanks for the info

One thing that can really slow down IE8 or even freeze it, is if there are a lot of 'add-ons' running while you are trying to browse, managing your add-ons can really speed up browsing. To fix try this:
In IE, go to ‘tools’ and ‘manage add-ons’.
Disabling any unnecessary add-ons may help your Internet run faster.
Try disabling add-ons with more than a .2 sec load time. (i.e. tool bars)
If you’re still not having any luck, I recommend you reinstall IE8 on your system.

That's why I suggested to try the IE (no add ons) from System Tools first.
