Expanded category load time?

[stevesh]

Like everybody else, I think you need to optimize your images first. There shouldn't be any meaningful difference in visual quality between an image originally sized at 186 X 163 or a 600 X 565 image resized by Zencart to 186 X 163 as you have now.

I resized your necklace image to 186 X 175, with no loss in apparent quality, but a decrease in file size from 107Kb to 24.5 Kb.

You haven't mentioned the name of your host, which may have a considerable effect on page load times.

I will work on resizing my images.

the host I am with is

I think as I am not totally sure, I set this site up with another guy and I use the same host as he, but I think many people use the same server, I thin I need a separate dedicated server?

You probably don't need a dedicated server. Most Zen Carts with even much larger catalogs are on shared servers.
