Basically you need to reduce your page size. Most internet connections can doownload a page pretty much instantly, But what takes the time is the images. So don't use images where you dont have to, and if you have to use images use a format that has higher compression or lower the quality of the image.

As st0x said images are the main culprit, you can do some things however.

1. Only use images where they are absolutely necessary
2. Optimise every image you use
3. Reuse images throughout your site, don't use identical images with different names

And also you can streamline your code:

1. Use CSS in an extrenal style sheet
2. Get rid of depriciated tags such as <font>, <center> etc and use CSS instead
3. Convert <table>'s to <div>'s where appropriate
4. Use headers/footers as page includes

What blue-dreamer said
Tables and nested tables are SLOOOOW. Dumping tables and using CSS for layout instead will significantly reduce your page load time along with all the other suggestions Blue made.

Yep. Basically what's been said above. Images tend to be the main culprit, but making use of css will help a lot to reduce code and even elimination whitespace can sometimes go a long way. Instead of using a tab to indent use a single space.

I also make use of shortcuts in css and will have my code for a given property on one line:

#example {width:100px; height:100px}

instead of

#example {
width:100px;
height100px
}

With big css files it can reduce some load times. Similary eliminating whitespace from your html, javascript, etc can help

You can test your site at http://www.websiteoptimization.com/ Often the report you get will tell you a lot about what the main offender in slow time is.
