Hi Susan, I suggest you get some good eBook/HOWTO for Joomla. Spend time with it and see how far it can jump-start (or is it kickstart?) your Joomla mission. On 25 April 2013 12:50, Susan Makhanu <makhanususan@gmail.com> wrote:

You can also review the guidelines at http://yslow.org/ . Pick one for a start for a start and work through it until you are happy with the result. Rinse and repeat On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 12:53 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

@Susan, I couldn't help but notice that the slideshow pictures are .png's, yet they are *photographs*, so on a haunch, I converted slide-display-left.png to slide-display-left.jpg and reduced the size from 587KB to 147KB, even without changing the quality level :-) Thats a BIG change for an image.

@Susan, you need to adopt a methodical approach to solving your puzzle. First, find out why or what is making your site slow, and for that, I highly recommend PageSpeed or YSlow. Firefox's Webdeveloper Toolbar will give you those two, plus the "Net" tab, which tells you the size and time taken to load each and every asset on your site.
From there, start by fixing the items with the biggest possible impact, most likely those images you are using for the slideshow...
