Are you hosting the blog yourself? Usually home-hosted blogs take longer to load because your competing with everyone else on their system that's using the free blog hosting. I know when you find a host there's usually an option to cache your site, this helps speed up your load times.
What you can also do is, use a smaller static page that users land on, and then let them navigate through the site instead of having your blogroll load up as the "home" page.

Try compressing the images a lot more, my main blog average is 3 sec.

What is your site link? is it your hosting that is lagging or your image that's too high resolution and not compressed enough? Maybe you try to use external hosting for images and those that requires higher load time.
Amazon put out a stat saying that for every 100ms that their site took longer to load, they would lose 1% in sales.

Holy cow, 13 seconds? Yeah that's not going to work at all. If your site needs all those images, make sure to optimize them, and consider using a lazy load feature so the images load as the user actually gets close to seeing them.
I use a static homepage that has an image slider and a couple small images toward the bottom. Loads in around 1 second.

Page size: 1.8MB
Load time: 1.63s
Requests:115
Perf. grade: 68/100
I have no idea how to decrease it, though.
I've recently read a ststistics report that most of the visitors leave a page if it takws more than 10 s to load, so I think 13 is too much.

Interesting, while google analytics is saying 13secs, this site says:
Page load time: 2.82s
Total page size: 3.01MB
Total number of requests: 79
Install WP-Smush plugin. Go to Media (on wordpress dashboard) click on "SMUSH IT"..
This plugin compresses all images without affecting the quality of images.
Also install Jetpack plugin and then Go to its settings, activate the "photon" feature. This loads the images with Wordpress CDN,makes images load faster than normal!

there are a number of wp plugins that can help you with this, try WP total cache and your blog will be served from static cache html instead of trying to generate pages from your MySQL database everytime.
search for some .htaccess web tips that can make your website load even more faster.
PM me if you found yourself in doubt.
