I think the site has way too many images. It took over a minute and a half for the home page to load. I went to the candle holder page, same thing. Then I went to an individual product page thinking that would be lighter -- over two minutes to load. Obviously I am on dial up.

Would I buy anything from the store? No -- I don't want to wait that long.

Your images seem to be optimized pretty good -- there is just way too many of them. Cut the number of products on your category pages, or make the images smaller, or both. Put less of the other products in the right column of the product pages.

Visually it is a nice site.
