Default Re: How can I reduce my heavy Page size?

Though it won't help on the first pageload, which is the page you have an issue on, in general it's good to have all layout stuff in a separate stylesheet, which is cached. Rollover navigation menus are more easily and lightly done using css rather than bloated javascripts (especially Dreamweaver's bloated javascript!) Without seeing the page it's hard to make specific recommendations.

Besides the Search Engines, you need to be aware that, thanks to our lovely shortsighted government here in the US, there are still a significant number of people who access the internet using dialup or satellite connections, which are much slower than broadband. So a fast loading page is not just important for the Search Engines.
