Joomla website very slow to load
This website home page is extremely slow to load, I've removed a youtube vid and Facebook social media plugin (comments) as I thought it was that, however it still takes ages to load.
Could be due to the photo gallery plugins?
Any assistance in speeding the page load times would be appreciated.

This page http://www.uptrends.com/aspx/free-html-site-page-load-check-tool.aspx says that your site when checked from Melbourne takes 12.4 seconds to load. Half of that is waiting for the initial file to load which indicates to me that the database access is slowing it down. You are loading 69 files for that first page.

Is 69 files a lot for a web page?
I thought maybe it's due to the image gallery plugin doing something in the background? What can I do to speed things up?

But there's only 4 jpg's & 7 png's being loaded (all very small), plus a couple of tiny background images.
Where's the 3.4MB I wonder?

I think it's the 'random image extended' module causing the grief. I've removed it for now, see if it loads OK on your end now.
That's better. http://www.uptrends.com/aspx/free-html-site-page-load-check-tool.aspx says you're down to 60 files, 6.5 seconds, and 1.1MB. You should go there and see what is actually loading. One of your mootools js files is 262KB.
