Slow website; what's your take on this?

[Funkerman88]

JMTC, that sounds weird, when you ask why it is slow http://screencast.com/t/dYoLTY6Lgp


you show a waterfall for Russia and Tokyo, of course, it must take lots of time for the bytes to fly almost half the world from USA server to RUSSIA or TOKYO servers )))

As for generic performance there is much room for improvements :


1) I would add DNS prefetch for these guys ajax.cloudflare.com, http://themes.googleusercontent.com, http://www.google-analytics.com/, http://rum-collector.pingdom.net to avoid dns looksups or I harder way put your fonts and scripts in your main root site

2 - I would inline couple of your images in CSS - base 64

3 - I would think one more time if you need custom fonts, if need, then remove glyphs and use this service http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator

some dirty thing)
4 - I would remove Accept encoding line, cookie and referral from your Header request
