impressive.

you need see how big site in total using firebug (firefox). many images, js files, css files, , etc. can make big , slow download. using many extensions contributes quickly. lot of moving parts , code executing isn't either.

the number of http requests may lot bad, js script downloads blocking many slow down.

got server? more cpu , ram, , faster db (host on server maybe). maybe many queries , slow.

you should try taking site offline or making copy of , profiling 1 , try debug mode , etc. , see of queries, cpu usage, , etc. , profile more before asking questions this.

also using firebug see pitfalls of site.

1)reduce overall website size
2)reduce number of http requests
3)use compression content
4)use cache, , extend lifetime of how long downloadable content lives on clients machine
5)use cdn
6)try opcode cache optimize php
7)get better hardware, start thinking memcache , distributing load (maybe try grid computing)

if you're on shared hosting have little no options regarding hardware , server software maybe it's time upgrade? otherwise you're sharing resources without dedicated power subject lot of pitfalls.

there's bunch of answers, again haven't seen/profiled site don't know how solve problem without more details.

hope helps in way!
