Thank Philip for the analysis. The page you have chosen from Colnect is the one with MOST images. Other pages have a lot less. It may be relevant to create an image sprite for the flag icons in this page but do mind the page already appears loaded as the flag icons come into display. The JavaScript/IFrames are due to usage of eBay's ads and Google's AdSense + Analytics. While I can integrate the Analytics script into my single combined JavaScript file, I may violate the terms of service for AdSense and eBay if I try to do the same.
