Hi Thomas,
thanks for all that details but the tool you are using showing you incorrect details, if you look here http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.laila.uk.com/mhNKz4QT you will see the problems we have.
Kind regards

Turn the images into sprites there is a lot more slowing your site down then DNS and it is part of it but most of it is hosting and I did combine your JS files for you your CSS files were already combined.
These are some of the things slowing down your site and causing DNS to have to go back and resolve every time. their at the bottom. You do not have enough requests to have such a slow site let's definitely upgrade your DNS and better hosting it does not have to cost more
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150413_MJ_3Y1/
here is the speed chart comparing the major DNS companies
http://www.solvedns.com/dns-comparison/
DynECT is my preferred. Dyn.com Keep in mind you can make a deal with NSone.net for everything you need for much less than you would imagine. Speedyrails.com resells edgecast route DNS for the price of $40 you can have 25 million queries per month way more than you need. The company that might fit perfectly is DNSmadeeasy.com they have incredible performance like the others with a base price of $29 a year so when you pay that no more payments for a year. This in addition offers you 10 million queries a month way more than you need.
cloudflare gives you free DNS that's very fast.
Look at the comparison of some of the other DNS companies and you will see that they add significant time onto your sites load time

http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150413_MJ_3Y1/1/performance_optimization/#first_byte_time
This is a very slow website because of the hosting platform it's on
Try top recommendation would be
https://www.firehost.com/ if cost is not issue FireHost
if it is an issue which is pretty normal.
Rackspace has created four tears of magento hosting from small to very large
http://www.rackspace.com/ecommerce-hosting/magento/
if you are not using a managed hosting platform ( I see who your hosting with it appears that you're not)
you can build your own droplet on digital ocean starting at a very low cost and very high performance
ttps://www.digitalocean.com/features/one-click-apps/magento/
other companies I would strongly recommend looking into.
http://www.peer1.com/hosting/magento-hosting
http://www.simplehelix.com/managed-hosting/magento-hosting/
http://www.zerolag.com/magento-hosting/

INTERMEDIATE rack space offers

PREMIER rack space offers
full SSD VPS you can one click install magento and have a lot more speed than what you're hosting with now
these are the files that your site is creating using a CDN like
https://www.incapsula.com/ ( will make any server PCI compliant comes with a CDN free)
http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/files
if you use cloud flare pay for the Pro version

I hope this helps please let me know if you have any questions am sure I gave you a lot of information but there's a lot that's going on with your site. You could do a lot better by switching to a faster host and speedier DNS with a content delivery network.

I responded to your other question the best way to implement these practices is to either show us your domain and what is being requested every time someone comes to your site or most sites do not have their .js & .css files combined
the easiest way to implement this right now is to take your files and put them into a tool like this to find out which files need to be combined
http://www.feedthebot.com/pagespeed/ or http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/requests/
once you have figured out the files that you want to combine for CSS you can use this tool
CSS only below
http://www.feedthebot.com/tools/css/
please send me your domain so I can do this for you if you like.
All the best,
Thomas

How To Avoid Redirect Chains When Switching From http to https
I have been working on on-page SEO which has involved switching from http to https, and renaming URLs. I am running in to issues with redirect chains. Here is a scenario: Old URL: http://bwisecontractors.ca/products/decks-and-deck-covers/ New URL: https://bwisecontractors.ca/renos-additions/sunrooms-patio-covers/ Since I already created the redirect addressing the redirecting from http to https for the root domain: (http://bwisecontractors.ca to https://bwisecontractors.ca), should the redirect for the above be http://bwisecontractors.ca/products/decks-and-deck-covers/ to https://bwisecontractors.ca/renos-additions/sunrooms-patio-covers/ , or should it be http://bwisecontractors.ca/products/decks-and-deck-covers/ to http://bwisecontractors.ca/renos-additions/sunrooms-patio-covers/ (and the root domain redirect will take care of going from http to https)

How long does Google take to reduce the index size?
A few months ago, we have incorporated our custom search in our website www.ergodotisi.com . We hadn't been paying a lot of attention to our webmaster analytics, to find out a few months later than the Google Index had grown from 2K- 3K pages to one million because it was crawling all combinations of search filters. We have now followed the right instructions to add noindex meta tags and blocked most search result pages from the robot.txt. We allow indexing of some main categories by setting new seo-friendly url structures. A few weeks have passed and the index size has only reduced to 700K. How long does it take before it removes most of the duplicated search result pages from the index? Is it still crawling those pages but has not fully decided to remove most of them? How bad is this for SEO?

HTTPS and HTTP both exist! How to handle?
I was asked to do some SEO work for a website and learned that just 6 weeks ago, their webmaster added an HTTPS instance of the site. Their backlinks all point to HTTP and the 6 pages that are already ranking are all on the HTTP site. I'm afraid to rock the boat by redirecting the site from HTTP to HTTPS as we may lose rank. What are some suggestions? If I just pull down the HTTPS will that hurt us? Would you just go ahead and redirect it? IF so, would you do each page individually or as a whole?

"The URL http://seadwellers.com/ redirects to http://www.seadwellers.com/. Do you want to crawl http://www.seadwellers.com/ instead?" I was given this when I tried to crawl my home page using MOZ software. I was not aware of this, do not know if it could be a problem concerning any aspect of SEO, etc? :

What is everyone doing to reduce the number of links on a page?
Some clients of mine have sites that are throwing the "too many links on one page" error and we're not just talking a little more than the status quo 100 links, it's much more. I believe it could be due to the fly-out navigation. My Solution: shorten the Tier 2 categories in the left nav down to 5 and add a "View All" link after the 5th and remove top nav fly-outs. I'm not sure if these are best practices or the best for usability though?
