These are all good tips. You can also look into Google's Page Speed Service. I believe it's paid, but they do have a limited trial. I've worked with it before and it works pretty well. I would undertake all of the above suggestions first - in the same order. optimize your site first, then look into a CDN.

It is very easy for unwanted code to sneak into your website, when you rely on programs that do not require much HTML or XHTML knowledge. This extra code may not affect your websites functionality, but it can really slow things down. Also, using XHTML is preferred over HTML which is slower. This is one scenario when it may be worth it to get an expert to help out, if you do not feel comfortable removing unnecessary code on your own.

If you have a lot of images, it’s essential to learn about the optimal format for each image. There are three common web image file formats: JPEG, GIF, and PNG. In general, you should use JPEG for realistic photos with smooth gradients and color tones. You should use GIF or PNG for images that have solid colors (such as charts and logos).

GIF and PNG are similar, but PNG typically produces a lower file size. Read Coding Horror’s weigh-in on using PNG’s over GIF’s.

Use of less inline element will also decrease the loading of a website. You need to use compressed images whenever images are needed on a website as they take maximum time for loading.

[waqasdhedhi]

Image files are often created with extra information embedded in the file. For example, JPEG files written by many image programs include the name of the program that wrote them. PNG images can often be made smaller by changing the way the image is encoded. These transformations are lossless. That is, the compressed image looks identical to the uncompressed image, but uses fewer bytes.
