Get hold of Steve Souders: "High Performance Web Sites: 14 Rules for Faster Pages" http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529307/index.html#details There is a video at http://www.oreillynet.com/fyi/blog/2007/09/steve_souders_high_performance.html Browse the links from which you can see what he is suggesting without getting the book. Some of the things suggested are - minimise number of files (css, js) downloaded by concatenating - add an expires header so pages come from browser cache instead of download - put style sheets at the top of downloaded page and (js) scripts to bottom Someone else mentioned Yslow, which is one of the tools the author suggests.
