I got this lovely sequence of optimisations over a number of iterations.
All good. Figures coming down. But page-time refuses to budge What?
Check this.
Any thoughts? Cheers Cocosol

Hi cocosol,
First things first: You should start by performing a real test (which Pingdom is not) and pick things apart from there.

The site http://boylanheadwear.com is a WordPress site.
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150808_ZA_FWP/1/details surfaces several areas of focus you can fix for better performance.
Fix the 404 for rosieWoo-child/custom-css.css, even - touch rosieWoo-child/custom-css.css - will help tremendously.
Make http://cloud.typography.com/6445112/783626/css/fonts.css local to your server.
All file TFB times seem suspect. Do some ApaceBench testing with a simple test.txt + test.php file to ensure simple files serve fast.
I just ran an ab (ApacheBench) test + here are some numbers for a server I just setup for hosting client sites + have barely tuned it, so these numbers will likely double after tuning.
Be sure your filesystem + apache + php + mysql (use mysqltuner) are tuned before starting with WordPress tuning.
It appears you’re trying to use http://spin3.boylanheadwear.com as a cookieless CDN + this site has expires headers turned off, so be sure + setup expires.conf for Apache.
If possible upgrade from Apache-2.2.15 to Apache-2.4.14 (or at least 2.4.8)
If possible upgrade from PHP-5.4.38 to PHP-5.6.12
Add a WordPress caching plugin (your site has no WP caching right now).
Add ZenCache. If you’ll actually test caching plugins performance effect, you’ll see why ZenCache is a good choice.
pecl -d preferred_state=beta install zendopcache
Then use something like OCP - Opcache Control Panel (aka Zend Optimizer+ Control Panel for PHP)#ocp #php #opcache #opcode #cache #zend #optimizerplus #optimizer+ · GitHub to ensure ZendCache has plenty of free memory available.
Likely doing these few items will make a big difference in your site performance.
Also doing these will likely get rid of the visual lag between seconds 3-5 on your site.
