How much data is your personal site? I just downloaded mine to see, and it's 9.5 MB. Is that a lot or average?

Size doesn't matter. It's how you load it.
- monNom0
also, your size is below average, I'm afraid.

^^^ Exactly.
It depends. If it's a portfolio site where projects load as you view them it's no biggie. But if it's a one pager like the one I'm building for myself where everything loads due to lack skills on jquery, css... then yeah it's a lot. My beta site is like 12MB and everything loads at once. No biggie on my connection of 50Mbps, but it'll be sloooowww on 10Mbps or less.

It is mostly a one pager?
Does anyone suggest some loading system like this?:

Why is your site 9.5 MB anyway? That seems hard to achieve.

9.5 is way too big unless you're loading things in smart.
Got loads of badly compressed gifs on it?

There are some basic things you can do to speed up your site.
- First run all images throu www.smush.it (this also has a wordpress plugin if you use that)
- Combine all css files and javascript files into two combined and compressen versions.
- Experiment ussing a cdn like maxcdn, or cloudflare which is not a cdn per se, but its free and can speed up your site.
- Install yslow and google page speed into your firebug console, and test your site for performance issues. These tools also give a lot of tips about how to speed things up.Just some pointers.
