I successfully transitioned my website from the desktop server to the live server; most of the kinks are worked out.
However my website (especially the main page) is incredibly slow. I'm talking 5-10 seconds to load once your on the page. Server Speed Test said it was off the charts.

I have followed the guide to speed things up and shaved some time off the load time; enough that Server Speed Test Would register 19 seconds. (My main focus is the main page at the moment; I only did image optimization for front page images). Front page size is only 720KB.

The templated I used is very quick on the example server so I know its not the template itself. Template front page is actually larger at 793KB. Server Speed Test says 3.61 Seconds for template demo.
I am running a VPS; specs are as follows:
Dual Intel Xeon DUAL or QUAD CORE CPUs (Burst): 3.2GHz
Intel Xeon DUAL CORE CPU (Guaranteed): 1.5Ghz
RAM (Burst): 8GB
RAM (Guaranteed): 1GB
I talked to my host about optimizing the server to run the website (since that's its only function) and provided the Webserver Tips as seen below. They told me thy would look into it.

I also checked out parse times I don't know what to compare these to to know if they are within normal ranges:
Main Page
Parse Time: 0.365 - Number of Queries: 159 - Query Time: 0.056272130645752
Product Listing 1
Parse Time: 0.382 - Number of Queries: 287 - Query Time: 0.07774410697937
Product Listing 2
Parse Time: 0.428 - Number of Queries: 393 - Query Time: 0.09003641267395
Product 1
Parse Time: 0.514 - Number of Queries: 252 - Query Time: 0.068596364135743
Product 2
Parse Time: 0.547 - Number of Queries: 252 - Query Time: 0.05991379675293
Do you guys have any ideas why the site is so slow?
