The other pages are about 30kb. (It was designed for slow internet, but doesn't look as good!!) People now think of 700kb as a small page, but that would take over 5 minutes on our dial-up connection. I think it is a problem because it cuts off many people from the internet (e.g. many in the developing world). Mobile devices are almost creating an alternative standard of slim web pages, and I find the internet works much better when I change my mac browser identity to iPhone!!! Our front page is 72kb.

If the graphic is a chart, consider using a GIF instead. You should be able to get smaller sizes and yet still maintain good quality images.

I've also discovered that the biggest images on my web page were part of the iWeb template that I was using. The background image was 124kB. I've used Preview to reduce that down.
