I need to fine tune my website
I have a fully functional website, presently hosted in-house. I performed webPagetest
http://www.webpagetest.org/performance_optimization.php?test=141030_4C_AEW&run=1&cached=1
It is not looking good, no wonder the traffic is not improving.
Can somebody suggest what I will need to do as in the order of priority so that all the bugs can be removed one by one and fixed? Is there a software which can be used to do this or need to be done manually one by one?
Kind Regards
Shaun

Are you using Magento? I see a Magento footprint on the site.

From here in California, the connection / host is very slow.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for the insight and guidance. It appears that I need to do quite a bit of study before I can make the site good. Any idea as to how long it would it take to complete such a jobby an expert?
Thanks Dave for your feedback. Unfortunately I have upload speed of .3 Mbps, I know it is pathetic, I will soon transfer the site to good hosting company. Before I do that I would like to get all the bugs fixed.

Based on what that report says, you need to:
1. identify why your server's initial response is so slow.
2. enable content compression on your web server.
3. enable browser caching: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/LeverageBrowserCaching
The use of a CDN (Content Distribution Network) is optional. This is very useful when your website is getting a high volume of requests distributed over a large geographical area. This is the last thing to consider when you do your fine tuning.
