Just optimised my site!

I recently discovered that my site was slower than 78% websites tested on this popular website speed checker tool, which is bad because Google penalises you if you have a slow site.
I found that the main cause was all my images as I hadn't been optimising them by reducing their size- they should be under 100KB and many of mine were like 600KB and some even a few MB.
So I optimised all my images which took a while and then got rid of some plugins which were slowing my site down a bit.
