Hello just a quick question. My website crowdink.com is about 20mb in size to load everytime so naturally it takes ages for people to view my website. Is there a plugin or a piece of code that allows compression of the websites size in half?

I had a look at your website and there seem to be a number of problems.
First off, it takes ages to resolve your hostname, 32 seconds!
The page size is 5,4 MB, e.g. just this GIF-image alone is 2,6 MB in size:
http://crowdink.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/smallgif.gif.
You could reduce number of articles/sections displayed on the front-page
Reducing the number of ads would also be helpful – people are not going to see the advertising if the website is so slow.

What I would do:
-check your server setup (maybe your dns is misconfigured) or use a better host
-use a caching plugin
-remove the ads (to see how much speed you gain)
-remove the gif image
-reduce the number of ads
