First though, remember all the things that we used to do when everybody was on 56k dial-up. 1) Optimise images - I find fireworks to be the best for this. jpgs for photos and gradients, gifs and pngs for flat areas of colour. 2) If you haven't already, ditch the table-based layout. These will make your pages bigger. 3) Move your CSS to an external, cachable file instead of having it in the head element. 4) Background images will be loaded in the order they appear in the stylesheet. Can you save a large background image until last? (tested in IE6, IE7 and FF2) 5) Don't load in a huge JavaScript library if you only need part of it. 6) This one's a bit specialised, but if you're using a blogging platform which uses plugins, turn these off one at a time. Badly written code can slow down the page rendering time. Hope these things are useful.
