Ideally you should have one (or even embed CSS for high-traffic pages) on your pages instead of 3 which you now have, the total size of your homepage is 967347 bytes, which will load in 210.59 seconds on a 56Kbps modem. Consider reducing total page size to less than 100K to achieve sub 20 second response times on 56K connections, the total size of your HTML file is 96982 bytes (consider optimizing and eliminating unnecessary features), also your image sizes, script sizes, and external CSS size need to be optimized.

It's going to take some time to work the bugs out, but you are on the right track. Just keep digging online for info and fixing 1 thing at a time. Gotta crawl before you can walk.

Best of luck!
