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.

these are the files that your site is creating using a CDN like

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

On site issues after Magento 2 launch
We did a new site launch on Feb 7th this year - www.vesternet.com It changed from Magento 1 to Magento 2. We had some launch issues around SEO but now we've solved most every crawler issue in Moz reporting - according to Moz we're in better shape on-site than ever. But our organic search is just dropping daily - we expected a drop after launch then back to normal, but over 2 months on something just isn't right. A good example, on Google UK for keyword 'home automation' we've always been about position 10, but now we're out the top 50... Forget about off site for now - what's wrong with our site itself to have caused this? Can anyone help with insights please as this is killing our sales

Is there any use in reducing organic bounce rate if they are going to leave anyway?
Is bounce rate itself an important factor? For example if my page which shows pricing for a service ranks high, people usually come to that page, then go to the contact page to see where I am. Most of them then realise I'm not close enough and exit. Now, I could give these people that info on the pricing page but that would drive my bounce rate up. Does it make a difference from Google POV?

Does Bing consider http://www.domain.com the same as https://www.domain.com?
Bing Webmaster Tools showed me that sometimes it displays https://www.domain.com in its results and sometimes http://www.domain.com. That got me thinking. Does Bing consider https to be a seperate duplicate copy of the http version? IE does my site get knocked down for duplicate content because of this? In Google webmaster tools, I can tell it whether I want https or http. But I dont know how to tell Bing. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks Dan

SEO for New Magento Site??!?
Hi All, We have had a new site delivered by our developers (hurrah...the old one was to terrible for words) but we seem to be having a lot of issues with the new Magento platform. What they have done is used the community version and tried to customize it. I came on to this project about a month into the build and although Magento does seem to do a lot things well there do seem to be some problems. From an SEO prespective we have seen some increase on some search terms and a drop of in others. I would be interested in hearing from other Magento users about their experiences with this platform and any ideas on how to crank up the activity. Our site is at www.nationwidepharmacies.co.uk . There are few odd bits including the side navigation which seems to be very clunky and not overly customizable in this version. Any useful criticism would also be well received. Look forward to hearing Nic

Google indexing https insted of http pages
Hi!
On-Page Optimization | | ovieira
First of all i have a Wordpress portuguese languagem website (**http://**bit.ly/TGjpVx). For a while, for security pourposes, i had a SSL certificate installed on my website but i didn't renew it, for a few months now. I didn't have any special https page. All pages responded using http or https. My problem is that it seems that Google still indexes some o my webpages with https and not http, so when people click on it they get a bad cached page. No good for SEO, i think. What can i do about this? I only want Google, and other serach engines, to index my clean http pages (about 70 pages). Thanks,

Why would meta description text get added to the meta HTTP-EQUIV tag?
For one of my clients, the people coding the site added the meta description content to the HTTP-EQUIV tag as part of the "name" attribute. Curious if anyone has seen this practice before?! I notified them that the description meta tag was not coded properly -- the search engines do not interpret the "name" attribute and the text that is in it. Anyway, It looks like: **<meta http-equiv="<a class="attribute-value">Content-Type</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">text/html; charset=utf-8</a>" name="... <a class="attribute-value">and services. ... .</a>" />**
