Blog takes a long time to download
-
My blog takes a long time to download. I’m sure it is because I have a photo in each posting. The size of each picture that I upload is always below 150KB. When I send a picture to the editor, I choose the image size, because the picture looks a lot better. I will then resize the picture so it is a nice size for the post.
Is there a better way to upload my pictures so they take up less space, but still look good? How do some of you deal with all of your photos?
Thanks,

Here are some ways to shorten page loading time:
(1) Reduce the number of posts that appear on your front page
-> Options -> Reading -> scroll to
Blog Pages
Show at most: ___posts
choose a lower number and click “Update Options” to save.(2) optimize, pre-size and resize your images all images.
(3) Turn off Snap Previews -> Presentation -> Extras
P.S. I hope you know that wordpress.com blogs are non-commercial blogs that cannot be used to drive traffic to 3rd party sites. And I hope you know that blogger advertising is not allowed either. You may have a link to your business website on either your About page or in your sidebar. But you cannot have a link at the end of each post traffic to your domain.

(4) Have you considered using only thumbnail sized images linked to the full sized photos at a 3rd party image site? That would cut down page loading time considerably.
HTH happy blogging :)
