Can this result be improved?

[JesseG]

Thanks for the points.

fyi, i want to optimize that SITE, not THAT page - but want to do so systematically.

an empty page with 1 request seems a logical place to start.

regardless, added some color to the page....

assuming the page is served by maxcdn, is the static ip address beneficial?

is the dedicated DNS provider necessary if the page is served by a cdn?

where it is showing ttl of 60? ping shows about 40s, dig says the 1074s for the A record and 14400 for the NS records.
