Speed up web site loading

Question

I am looking for the best way to speed up the load time of my js.

The problem is that I am working with a very large site that uses the jquery framework, and what's happening is because the site is also loading, facebook connect, addthis sharing, google analytics and another tracking code, the jquery is delayed a few seconds, and certain elements like the calendar just appear, and my users are complaining that things take to long.

I did a test in google chrome and the avg load time is 4s. Which is too much.

I am already doing minification, and the jquery UI/ Jquery is being loaded from google. What's the best way to approach this?

Make fewer http calls by combining images and script and css, and also use a Content Delivery Network for you static images and css might help!
