Problems loading web pages

It seems to take ages to load web pages on my MBP, most of the time I load up Facebook and most of the images don't load and I have to keep refreshing the page for them to show up and sometimes that takes ages.

Its not just FB, other websites such as this one take ages to load up sometimes.

My question is, is my MBP somehow affecting my browsing performance or is it simply down to my internet connection.

Are there any measures I can take to improve browsing speed, any setting changes?

Thanks.
