Opera gives you a bit of a hint, but, if you take steps you can whittle
it down.
1. No presenational markup. All presentation goes into a stylesheet.
2. No javascript on the page. Javascript goes into an external file.
3. Use semantic markup, the right tool for the job - if it's a heading
use heading markup, list of links, list markup, etc.
4. Make sure any images are optimized and are the size they say they are,
eg. if an image is 115x115, it better not be 800x600 on the server.
5. If you're doing anything server side, reuse, reuse, reuse. A page
that uses functions and that is 125 total lines long is going to load a
lot faster than a page that is 1700 total lines long (1000 server side).
6. If you use a database, make sure queries to the tables have been
optimized as well. If possible use stored procedures and indexed views.
Open connection, get the records, close the recordset, close the
connection. THEN write the data to the browser.
