In my opinion, you do not have ENOUGH posts per page. You site does not load slowly on my computer, but if you are wishing to make sure it loads quickly, I would take off some of the many other "extras" you have on here, and keep the content at a higher rate.
ReplyDeleteOnly having 3 posts per page makes it so you have to scroll through many more pages to look at items you've posted, causing even MORE page load time - as ever time you click on "older post" you have to load an entirely new page.
If I were you, too keep the site moving smoothly but giving a good amount of content, I would remove your FEEDJIT "Popular Pages" links, maybe your Alexa Site Info box, the followers section, or the huge WHOSAMONGUS map.
I keep 25 posts per main page on my blog, and it loads perfectly fine. This is your blog, though, so obviously do what you want. That was just my suggestion to the mix.
