Hello to all! I'm a newbie here and as a Xara software user too!

I've designed my first site just a few days ago where in one of my pages I have about 20 photos of 500x330px (optimised). The thing is that this page downloads very slow.

In IE9, by the way, when I click on the link of that particular page, the link is surounded by the dotted-line rectangle indicating that it is selected but nothing else seems to happen up to the moment the whole page appears. I mean, there isn't any kind of indication that something is downloading -like the animated gif circle goes round and round where the favicon is.

Maybe it's my hosting speed but is there any other way to optimize it? It seems that the browser(?) waits untill all the photos are downloaded in order to appear the whole page at once. So, how can I make it to download the page image by image or progressive?

I hope I'm not asking too much!
