Server time:
1 - Looks like you are using Wordpress : Some plugins may slow down the site- disable one by one
2 - May sure memcache is Enabled
3 - Cache control for your html is not set correctly, on repeat view , it takes the same time to download your page ))
4 - You CSS files -you have like 8 kb of CSS - inline in in HTML head
5 - Favicons - you have two favicons and none of them is shown on the site)))
6 - THE MAIN EVIL - Facebook and TWITTER - these guys should be deffered on ONLOAD EVENT - look for this in net
7 - HTTPS for FB and twitter should be changed on HTTP , and also for this https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js
8 - do you really use Custom fonts? I think no
9 - By the way, you have too little of js, you can inline in HTML head
10 - Too many different domains
11 - too many redirects

and so On
Main idea: deffer all additional stuff on onload event, inine CSS and JS, Check Server settings.

Your site will be in 3-4 times feels faster

Number 3 and 10 on this list are really important. You need to go through each of these items methodically if you want to see a significant improvement. The Good news with Wordpress is that such improvements are possible without too much work.
