Filter out junk info, reduce the quality of all images (making image files a smaller amount of bytes) and don't have really long pages. Noone reads tonnes and tonnes of info anyway online.

Gzip and CSS Compression help I have posts about them but I think I am not allowed to post the links here . Alternatively there are plugins available but plugins add too much extra code

Review all your plugins. Plugins that need to access other sites to do their stuff, or which are poorly coded, will slow down site load times. More details here:

Make sure the themes you're using are well coded. Poorly coded themes will also slow down your site load times. More info in the first sub paragraph (quality and efficiency of the underlying code) here:

Finally, despite having just suggested removing plugins you can actually add one of the Cache plugins - they'll definitely speed up site load times.

Cheers,

Martin.

  I agree get watch your images, optimize them, and delete the ones not being used. Also try Wordpress super cache....All new installations of Wordpress now come with it by default.

The plugin called WP Super Cache works great for me. My blog was loading super slow and I use it and now it just pops.

Caching is one option as already mentioned. Here's a useful benchmark of several plugins that may help:
