Website SEO image compressor online free thingy.

Also have to find a way to keep the wildlife from eating the lines.

In the "old days" like 2 months ago, Telstra had to repair the lines to one of the cottages on my Daughters property.
They had previously ran the cable along the top of the wire fence for about a kilometre, then tied it to a branch on a tree to string it across a gully to another tree then along the fence again. Total about 1.4 km.
The cattle had been gnawing on the wire in sections and at one point - where the fence had been hit by lightning - it was melted for about 6 meters.
So.. they just did the same thing...

To get it to there, they come through neighbouring properties along the main road, with junction boxes every 5 km's or so with a round box sticking out of the ground.
After several weeks of use as a convenient rubbing post for the cattle, and the mud hole that ensues from so many hooves in one place, invariably the phone line goes down regularly.

Where my Daughter "actually" lives has no phone service at all - mobile or landline.
Telstra wont run a cable 11km to her house and satellite is too expensive.!

It doesnt resize the images for you, just shows you what needs to be resized.

I don't care much, as it loads within 3 seconds for me

You should. Your load time is a whopping 19.4 seconds. Its fast for you because you've cached your images locally (this is what Temporary Internet Files are all about). Clear cache, maybe hop into Incongnito mode and you'll see the true loading speed of your page.

You are getting A's because its not judging overall load speed, but rather how soon your server starts sending information (and a few minor speed optimizations). I dont think its working correctly either as your massive uncompressed images are getting an A. I suspect its because they 'lazy load' (asyncronously loading).

I dont know what the average internet connection speed is in your area, but looking at Google Maps, Locust NC appears to be fairly rural. I would be getting that number as low as you can get it. There are probably many ADSL connections in your area that are barely usable. 3G/4G probably isnt that great either.

The biggest culprits in your sites speed are those uncompressed images in the carousel. They are practically poster sized. Fix that and the site should load fairly fast.
