Generally speaking, there’s no problem in site writting speed with good server and broadband can fasten.
Page Speed and YSlow are widely used to test the website speed which are plugins for firebug and firefox respectively.
You can install the two softwares to test your website speed. Here are some screenshots below:

The plungins are useful, however, sometimes are not accurate. We take CDN serive of google but Yslow doesn’t think google provides CDN service.
If you have checked original demo website of prestashop, you will find some problems such as no content optimization on http level.
We provide optimization on http level for orders including optimizing image size, enabling gzip, combine http request, adding expiry date and etag to every request.
Keep your customers with great user expericence.
