1) Make a index.html entrence page
Then only when someone really want to see site they click on a button or link to get to the index.php page
How's the index.html page going to help the loading problem, may I ask?
If that's all, I wish I would've known, my page never stops & always turns the fan on, if I don't press the stop button before. Is that what my problem is too?
Thanks.

Sure let me explain
You see the index.php page draws from the mysql data to make the page
every time someone visits the site.
So if your using let say 5 traffic exchanges and getting 100 people per hour and the page draws 150KB per load that works out to 15MB per hour
in bandwidth
Now if most of that traffic in not interested in your site your wasting your bandwidth and time.
Now to save on that bandwidth and load on the mysql
You make a index.html page that visitors who want to see more
can click on as an entrence page. that leads to your index.php page.
You make is simple and small in size lets say 10KB
Now with the same example above with 100 people per hour your bandwidth use now for the main page is 1MB per hour.
Say 20 people click through to your index.php page per hour your bandwidth use for that is 3MB
Total per hour then would be 4MB per hour a vaste saving in bandwidth and server load.
Of course you could also just find a host who give you all the bandwidth you want....like me
