It could have been a temporary issue with that web site's server.
If the site continues to load excessively slow, there are a few things you can do and check.
First, verify that it is a local condition - try to access the page from another location using a different internet connection.
Next, if it is a local issue, open Internet Explorer and empty the temporary Internet cache - if you are using IE7, open to a browser window, click on Tools, select Internet Options, in the Browsing History section click on Delete and then in the next menu click on Temporary Internet Files 'Delete Files.'
If you are using IE6, click on Tools, select Internet Options and then under Temporary Internet Files click on the Delete Files button.
Next, with Internet Explorer open, click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options. There, click on the Advanced tab and then the Restore Defaults button (for IE7, it is the Restore Advanced Settings button). Lastly, click Apply and OK. Close & Reopen IE and test.
