Getting slowww results, Wordpress+W3TC

Holy cow, I ran a couple of tests just in case it was a problem with the agent but it looks consistent and testing other sites from the same agent looks fine. It's bizarre that it's only the base page socket connect that is suffering but it's taking an insane amount of time to establish the connection. It looks a lot like packet loss but I'd expect that to show up in other connections as well and not as consistently.

Do you have any IP-based rate limiting, security modules or anything else that may be holding down the connections? Does the server have enough clients/file descriptors?

Your actual page performance isn't nearly as bad as the measurement - if we can figure out why the socket connect is taking so long the numbers should be a lot closer.
