Strange. When I visited the site it made no requests to WP, and the site 
was very fast. Using Live HTTP Headers (FireFox extension, highly 
recomend it), I found it made only 3 off-server requests:

I find it very strange your browser is making a request to en.wp. What 
browser and version? Do have an extension that checks the validity of links?
