Webshop: TTFB and Compression issues

Yes, this is most likely due to slow PHP code or unoptimised database calls. Consider getting a PHP developer who is familiar with the PHP framework that is being used, or add a caching plugin to your framework if possible, or consider getting your web host to set something like Varnish up to do entire web page caching.

I'm not familiar with Apache's compression directives - could you post a copy of the .htaccess file in your document root and we can see if we can find anything?
