Host your web site on a high-end server, Optimize your images, Reduce the codes etc

Perhaps get a better server?

If you're running on an Apache server, then make sure your website is being compressed using the Apache deflate or gzip functions
If you've never heard about them, then simply google "apache deflate compression"

That alone reduced my site load time by about 25%

well, if you are using wordpress then simply install wp-super cache plugin :P

There are many things that increase the load time of your website..
Use less img (less size/kb)
Less use of flash
Remove unnecessary code
