Upgrade first to 1.4.19 , you are using <!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.15 (stable)--> at your site.

That page is not coppermine-driven. What's the actual question? Post an actual link to your gallery at least...

sorry had to take down the site a few weeks back because of heavy load.. its now back to normal.

is there a way i can optimize it more?

If you need to use less cpu resources deactivate the slide of random pictures for starting. You have 48.238 files and that's the first thing that consume a lot of resources.

But, in the other hand, at this moment you just have 14 users on-line. If the visitors stats round up and down aroud that number of visitors you should move to another server, it shouldn't be overload.

Get rid of meta albums, the random photo scroller, the RSS feed if you don't have the server power to run all those extra queries against the database. Rule of thumb: running less queries against the database will consume less resources.
