You can also try to lower bandwidth by making your pictures smaller. I checked out your site and even on my fast internet it took a bit to load. If you compress you pictures(I notice you use png, which is good but it may be worth it to also consider jpg for larger images. For example, the background on your pages is pretty, but it's also about 850kb. So every time someone looks at one of your pages, that's 850kb of bandwidth out the window. I did a quick check and if you were to change that image alone, it would take it's size down to 150kb. That's a reduction of 700kb! You're saving almost 700 Megs per 1000 page loads on your site, and that's just one image! Eliminating useless code from pages that don't need it is another way to shrink file sizes, and calling information that is unneeded is another way to lower bandwidth. :) Hope that helps.
