Hi,

 

You pretty much answered your own question...you have too many images and they are too large. Consider reducing the number/size/quality of your images to improve your page load speed. The landing page you gave is almost 1.6MB, this is entirely too big even for a customer on an fast DSL. A good target to aim for is going to be less than 300K, some may even say this is too much. I personally try to stay below 200K. A good website to run your webpages against is http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ and enter whatever page you are interested in checking. This will not only give you very precise statistics on your page but will also offer advise on how to improve your webpage load times.

yes this is one of the problem, but not the loading problem, even boxes headers or 1x1pixels images are loading too slow
