Do you have a page on your website that is taking longer to load then others?
Your problem could be the image size.
You don't have to purchase any expensive software to reduce your images size. Instead you can do it all for free. It will take some work, but it's well worth it.
As a general rule of thumb I like to keep my image sizes below 50 KB.
Only use .jpg for your images. Do not use .gif or .png for images. Both .gif and .png will make your image sizes to big.
The two tools that I used in this video are:
Try this on your ranking pages on Google. It will make the user experience better and your rankings will increase as a result.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Garen. Many thanks for showing us how to do this. I have some big pictures on my website that I haven't know what to do with. Now I have the tools with the two free websites that you have listed. I am sure once optimized that my website load speed will improve. Many thanks!

Familiar images hehe ;)
Here's the thing though, I usually don't upload the high-res images, I reduce it to 640x420 size format but I'm really careful not to go overboard with reducing them because I'm in the photography niche and I need to present good pics to show why a certain camera/lens is good.
That's why I've been considering a different hosting so I don't have to downgrade the quality of my site. But for now I do change my .png images to .jpg to ensure my loading speed is fast enough.
Thanks for the training!
