 * Your image file sizes are huge; reduce them. See [http://gtmetrix.com/reports/lifesplash.nl/bcstKM1w](http://gtmetrix.com/reports/lifesplash.nl/bcstKM1w)
   for other suggestions. Try WP Super Cache and set up browser caching.

 * I have the W3 Total cache plugin, is that good enough? And which images do you
   mean, the images from my posts or my theme?

 * All the images.
 * Use [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/) with Firefox, or use the developer tools
   in [Chrome](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/overview)
   or [Safari](http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/appleapplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/2SafariDeveloperTools/SafariDeveloperTools.html)
   or [IE](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/gg589507(v=vs.85).aspx) to
   see what’s loading on your site and the size of the image files.
