Hi
I have a problem with Very Long Time to First Byte on my website

I start test my website on webmasterworld

my test details [webpagetest.org...]

Load Time 1.521s
First Byte 0.643s


There is shared hosting plan
What to do now ... should I blame hoster or script ?

It could be either. You could try running this:

curl -so /dev/null -w '%{time_total}\n' http://example.com


obviously with yoursite name instead of example.com, on the server which will tell you whether the page is generated slowly or whether the delay is introduced later. The waterfall seems to point to the former, but that sill does not tell you whether it is slow because the script is slow or the server is over loaded. It seems to be running Opencart so you should probably look at how fast other Open Cart sites are.
