Suggestions to increase the speed?

Hi
Ive been through all the main things like using Image handler 4, using the minify css/js loader by numinix, ive moved to a vps with 1024mb ram.

im not sure the css/js is working though as im also using ceon urls. hmm

Im using the speed test at http://www.webpagetest.org using a london server and its coming up at about 10 seconds.

Its running some java script for adroll, google and also for a chat program which launches although it does seem to launch that javascript quite late id like to get that running as soon as the page opens. Ive attached here would appreciate any advice

Your site's main page is loading in a second or so here (in the US) in both FF12 and IE8.

Re: Suggestions to increase the speed?

Homepage loaded fast for me (California) but when I clicked on a link on homepage footer it spun and never came up. But was able to quickly recover with another link.

This should be your result at speed site I use:

http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.florist.com/Q6pUwEra

Not too bad. And I really don't know how to handle some of their suggestions.

BTW, I don't recognize your site as a zencart. Is it?
