Need help implementing pagespeed/yslow recomendations on slow site

Permalink
I'm hoping to get some help on speeding my site up. Right now we are on a vps with dreamhost, and have a cloudflare plus account activated.

I ran pagespeed and it came back 81/100, ten minutes later I ran it again and it was 72/100. I didn't change anything in that time and am not sure about why it changed. I have noticed though that the site speed is not consistent. Sometimes it seems to work great, other times it barely crawls along.

On yslow
the site has an F grade for "make fewer http requests". "Add expires to headers", "Compress components with gzip", "Put javascript at bottom", "reduce the number of DOM elements", use "cookie free domains"

the site is apoprecords.com

Still having issues with c5 site being slow and eating up resources on the vps im on. I have a paid cloudflare acct, but not sure how much it's helping. Any idea what causing my site to use up so much ram and be so slow?
