Most sites on the internet are like this now, since many people have fast internet the art of optimising websites is basically lost. I worked at a marketing agency back when we optimised images by manually selecting their pallette and dithering algorithms, our max size of a page was set to 1MB... Nowadays, you can be lucky if the JavaScript is less than 5MB, I guess.
i remember engineers complaining when the graphics i used were like 2mb, but they included all graphics for the site. simpler days
