Ted,

In many cases the loading speed depends on the web hosting service people are
using. Particularly some of the free ones like Tripod or Yahoo/Geocities can be
quite slow, and the banner ads slow them down even more. That was the main
reason I switched to a paid-for, ad-free service.

Short of changing their web hosting service, people should pay attention to
image size and also avoid coloured backgrounds, Java scripts and whatever other
fancy frills one can add to a web site.
