Why do the images on my web site load so slowly?

[Torner983]

Hey!


Here's my web site, www.global-uniforms.com, if you browse the product categories on the left, you will see that the images load very slowly, yet the files are not that big, about 60Kb each...

Any suggestions as to how I can make them load faster or in such a way that looks a bit more professional?

Thanks

You would have thought that in almost 2 years this would have been solved.

o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
b\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
.shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);}

Torner, seriously - that website needs recoding. The HTML file is like 500 lines longer than what it should be. You could easily achieve the same website in less than 50 lines of HTML code, as well as making it more accessibile to a wider audience.

The best way to fix your image issues: hire a professional web designer and have them redesign and recode the entire site.

No offense or anything.
