I am building a website similar to [www.benwisch.com](http://www.benwisch.com)  
but for some reason my site is very slow. My main page is over 9 millions bytes in size. I compressed the files as per instructions on this page. How can I make my page load really fast?

My page does not have the albums yet, but I had tried different options and the albums take a long time to load as well.

Also, if you click on the link Studio the picture will take a long time to load the first time(I used an external swf to load this page). I have read so much about loading time but I don’t find any where the answer to make my pages work fast.

The website I am building is at [www.janav.com](http://www.janav.com)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jana
