Install:
Wp Super Cache
Wp Widget Cache
that should increase your loading time dramatically
Hope that helps.

smush.it and total cache are the two easiest plugins to use for a quick fix

There are billions of tutorials for this question all over the web but what I'd suggest is move your site to litespeed hosting. You can clearly see pages loading quickly but there's more to it than that. Minify css & js. As Duffers5000 said install smush.it plugin to compress the images. IMO, W3 total cache is much superior and has a lot more control than WP super cache.

I'd go against the stream and advise against caching plugins. I used to use them but after several tests by different tools I found out that the blog runs faster without those plugins. Instead, you could reduce the page size, I mean the media stuff you have. For images you can use smush.it as suggested above. Badly written codes can cause longer load times and therefore you should choose popular plugins from popular developers for your necessities.
If you've worked the blog a lot then as you may have noticed, posts and pages are saved as revisions and those can slow down loading time in admin panel, there's a database optimization plugin to delete them (and keep the actual post), that helped a bit for me.
Try to keep the amount of plugins minimal, only use ones you absolutely need.
