Website is : http://smokingdesigners.com

First of all please tell me your opinion about the websites speed because I have been trying for about a month now to optimize it and I think I made it today.

Also please tell me if the combination below is correct.

I use w3tc with Minify CSS AND JS enabled
html xhtml minify disabled (causes high ttfb)

Cloudflare Pro with only DNS Pre loading on
MaxCDN Pull Zone 2.0 only for post images ( no theme files or sidebar files loaded through cdn)

Could you tell me if there is anything more to do in order to achieve greater ttfb times?

I am on a shared hosting Godaddy Premium Package.

My Current TTFB goes from 0.5 (witch is ok) to 1.5 seconds (witch is not ok )

Any tips or tricks to maintain my ttfb below 1 second?

Regards,
Evan

Here are some things I can think of:
- You are using Google fonts, I think the fonts might block the page from starting to render (white screen, no text)
- I did not see the MaxCDN, all assets are on the same domain, so I asume all requests go through CloudFlare.
- if you did intend to use a seperate domain for your static files you might be able to save yourself some money when you put the domain for the static files also on CloudFlare instead of MaxCDN (I don't know how well they cache)
