: Why is there a huge gap before in my WebPageTest after the HTML has been downloaded? I am trying to improve front-end performance of my website, and there is a 3.5 second lag before the user

I am trying to improve front-end performance of my website, and there is a 3.5 second lag before the user actually sees anything, and I'd like to improve this.

Here is a screenshot:


And here is the actual test: www.webpagetest.org/result/130301_JC_12CC/2/details/cached/
The user is seeing a blank screen for about 3.5 seconds before it's visually complete, which is pretty unacceptable in my opinion. Any pointers on how I could solve this?

It appears that particular chart has hidden the images that are downloading during that time period. I tested the same page myself using the Firefox web browser with the Firebug extension. A similar chart to what the website gives you is available under the "net" tab in Firebug.

As you can see, there are a lot more resources downloaded from your site and there are no significant gaps. View full size image
