If you are using a platform for commerce or CMS I would try back at the company site to see if they have updates available to the software. If not then I would do a process of elimination to the culprits at large: JavaScript (remove from the code and call in with a single string from an external file), Images (Download to optimize in Photoshop/Gimp and re-upload), remove all inline styles and place in an external CSS file. If your website is using tables, get out of those as soon as possible. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/ has some good tools to benchmark page load. Throw in the URL or email to dwight (@) tmprod.com that you are working on and we could give you some more tips. Sometimes they are easier than we think.

I'm currently researching website accelerators to speed up our enterprise site, Aptimize looks the best of the lot but can you recommend any from your personal experience?
