All of your calls are there, and the graph shows you how long it takes each of them to load.

First byte time is his host, and really that's the least of his issues at this point.



To the OP: To get a baseline reading on your site from WebPageTest dot org, make the vBulletin default style the default style for your site, turn off all plugins, then run the test. This will let you know the difference the custom skin and all the add-ons and plugins are making.
