 * It’s taking your server over half of a second to respond, specifically 0.637 
   seconds to first byte. That could indicate something is wrong with your server
   or it’s generally overloaded. You’ll need to contact your hosting provider about
   that.
 * Next, it takes 13 total seconds for the site to load at over 6 MB in size. The
   crown for longest individual load goes to [http://www.acdcsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CLOSE-UP.jpg](http://www.acdcsolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/CLOSE-UP.jpg)
   the 2.6 MB 2400 × 1600 image used as a tiny bit of your background.
 * Since the area it appears in is not 1600 pixels high, you might want to consider
   at least re-sizing it to something shorter.
