Why is my site running so slow? Little Help

Okay my website is running sloooow. Can you take a look at it and let me know what you think? It may take a few secs to load.

Ideas:
-Too many pics on main page, or maybe get lowest Rez?
-Change any formats or something to speed up or condense down a few of the other pages to help?

The html
HTML Code:
<font size="3"></font>
is repeated at the bottom of the page like 100 times.
The code is also invalid ( See W3C http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0 ). The use a javascript is a bit over the top and the host is budget quality
There is a lot of requests for external sites, I would personally remove them.

In short, clean up your html then fix up the javascript. If problem persists change host.

Another thing to look at is that you have images pulled in from different sites, ie...

http://www.flydepot.com/ffloop/FFLlogo.gif
http://www.floridakeysflatsfish.com/bonefish_gif.gif
http://www.coloradoflyfisher.com/images/ross_reels.jpg
http://www.hitsunlimited.com/cgi-bin...cgi?IDimg=2055

If the other site is slow in responding this won't help.

Total page size is about 848k which is huge. You should be able to at least halve that just by optimising all your images.

You have over 1400 HTML errors which isn't going to help matters, as rogem002 suggests cleaning it all up can only help.

I run all of my sites through this:
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/


Images are the bulk of your problem, so start with reducing their quantity and size. bluey.jpg and charter-boat_hblv.jpg are your main problems. Reducing or removing those images will help loading times alot. You also have multiple .css files which have to be downloaded one at a time. Try to combine them all into one css file.

More than anything it's your images though, over 800k worth of images is just ridiculous and more than you can expect a user to deal with.

Thanks a bunch for the tips....still a neophyte at designing sites so all the help you can give the better. Wish I had a server, I notice many other sites like mine that have like 25 pics on the main page (blog site) and it pops up pretty quick?

I'll change some pics and thanks again!

Its not the number of pictures so much as it is the size. If a site has that many pictures most likely they are probably not that high res. One thing you can do is use a smaller compressed image on your site and make a link (either the image itself or a link below) to a higher res version.
