Hi Adam and gang,
There are some really simple tweaks that you can make to the coding of the website which will reduce the loading times of every page. This will improve people's experience on the forum, possibly help your search rankings and save resources on your server.
Suggestions:
This is ~30% saving on the current template. Multiply 290KB by the amount of pageviews per month, and the savings start to mount up :smilewinkgrin:
There's also plenty of other stuff to squeeze out extra milliseconds, but the above is fairly simple to do.

Suggestions:
- Optimise template images would save 70KB
- Specifying height and width dimensions or all <img> files stop the browser repainting (stuttering)
- GZIP compression is only enabled on HTML, rolling this out on .css and .js files will save 220KB
