HTTP requests do not generate alot of traffic. It is the content of you site that does (and slows down the site). HTTP requests you can't really control eighter. If someone wants to see something on your site, they generate HTTP request. Short of stopping people from seeing your site you can't do much.
The problem might be in your hosting company. If it really cheap service (or very popular one), they might be cramming too many people (sites) on the same server, thus slowing things down.
On the other hand the problem might be with you. Do you really need to have background music ? Or 20 1MB pictures on your home page ?
Cut some of that stuff down and you should be fine. Each of you pages should be less than 100Kb (1MB takes about 7 minutes to download on dialup). If you don't have any of this and this keeps on going for some time, switch your hosting.
Good luck.

http requests are the files that are necessary to load while someone is browsing your website in his browser.
The best methods to reduce the http requests is the use of some cache plugin like w3 total cache.
That will also decrease the blog loading time
