Have to agree with all the above, I am on cable and it does load fairly quickly, but, it all pops onto the screen in a very random way which kinda hurts my eyes.

I am not really a web or graphic designer, just an apprentice, but in my area of expertise (more film and video etc.) you have to learn to try to pick where the attention getter is. Practice checking what your eyes are doing, where do you tend to look, do they rest in one place and then maybe move slowly to something connected? Or do they dart all over the page/screen because there is is simply nowhere for the eyes to rest upon, the focal/interest point.

There is a lot of sense in saying that less is better, I am trying to get a major revision of my site up and running and along the way I have had to decide what is my focal point/s and what I really don't need up front.
