Your application is big; here's the point. What happened to you is exactly what happened to me 3 year ago when I made a barcode application.
I carried on growing the application until it become so big that I can't control. The read problem is that you "don't know how to solve overweight issues".
I got a solution, but I'm not sure if you'll go for it.
Decompose your website into parts, I don't know how it can be. But for me it was a windows application built with the Dot net frame work. I decomposed it into several namespaces and classes and placed those classes in "DLL" files.
Now the program is much more tinier. I don't care about the DLL files, I just call them to get something ready. Like calling a class, giving information about a barcode and getting back a picture. In reality it's more than 400 line of code to do that. but with OOP and DLL, in few lines I can do it.
Now you have to explore the possibilities of your programming platform.
