Answer:
Here are some suggestions, assuming you're running the latest-released version of Zen Cart:
1. Turn off Category Counts:
a. Admin->Config->My Store->Show Category Counts=false
b. Admin->Config->My Store->Show Category Counts-Admin = false
(this is for admin-area only when editing catalog)
2. Enable gzip compression (Your account must first be configured for gzip)
Admin->Config->gzip Compression->Enable gzip Compression = 1
3. Disable the Manufacturers sidebox
Admin->Tools->Layout Boxes Controller
- find the sideboxes/manufacturers.php entry, and turn it "OFF"
4. Ensure your images are optimized for your site... specifically, use small images for thumbnails, slightly larger for product pages ("_MED" images), and large detailed images for "click to enlarge" ("_LRG") images.
