my site pages are of 3mb according to pingdom.com

Optimize all your images; when uploaded, using plugin to compress thumbs, and/or set the compression level in the functions.php file.
Limit loading of offline elements.
Make sure your host is using compression such as gzip or deflate.
Best place to start 🙂
can you tell me more about compressing thumbs?
Let’s say you have one image and have uploaded it to server. Once you select it as a featured image, the theme generates 3 images. For big slide, category slider, and for the post itself. Now are you telling me that all these images can be compressed via functions.php or a plugin? I can’t say I love installing plugins, and just because of that I thought I could get at ftp once in a while in order to download images and reupload them after compressing. But I’d like to hear more about that php line you mentioned or plugins you have experienced.
Hi, you should check your server is running gzip/deflate first, as this makes a huge difference as everything is compressed when sent to web browser. Looks like a bunch of your stuff coming off Cloudfront is not compressed enough.
Simplest way to compress all your NEW images is to edit your functions.php file (see my notes about this in the pagespeed sticky thread in forum), but downside you have to update this each time theme updated. Popular plugin: SmushIt.
Looking at your report, there are some fairly big files for that page …
But you should be compressing/optimizing your images in Photoshop or something BEFORE you upload them … e.g., you have
1) 233.9 kB image
2) 115.9 kB image
3) 120.1 kB image
typically you shouldn’t see images larger than maybe 50kb if done right. I try to keep my article featured images no more than 25-35kb for example.
You might try scanning your page here

as it will tell you how and which images are too large on your page!
YOu still have a great PageSpeed rating, though. 🙂
I am not the OP :D, just wanted to get some information while you were around 🙂
this is mine.
