How do you determine what is causing a page to load slow?

So I have this WordPress page just full of html and it takes like 6 seconds to load compare to the rest of the pages where they load in 1 second.

So I check firebug net tab and it simply just tells me its HTML that takes 6 seconds. I've checked all the media like images and even checked JS and both of those items loaded in milliseconds.

My question now is if it says its HTML, what does that really mean? How would I determine what part of the HTML is loading slow so I can fix it?

Any insights would be greatful.

Use Fiddler to have a more detailedd information on each of the web requests that you need to load the page, or you can even go further and use wireshark to go into much lower level to see the transmission that are happening over the wire.

By the way, usually to reduce the bandwith or time of requests, usually you can use sprites to have 1 single request of an image that has many pictures inside of it, instead of many small requests for a single minimal picture.
