To get better ranking in Google the theme/site has the following issues that are holding it back. It is failing for speed in in these areas, below I broke down exactly what is doing it
- Leverage browser caching GRADE F
- Optimized Images GRADE F
- Use efficient CSS selectors GRADE F
- Remove unused CSS GRADE C
- Add Expires headers GRADE F
- Make fewer HTTP Requests GRADE F
Could these issues get fixed - Google's new algorithm rates sites by good code and speed.

-------> Use efficient CSS selectors
http://refined-life.com/wp-content/themes/newscast/js/prettyPhoto/css/prettyPhoto.css has 4 very inefficient rules, 5 inefficient rules, and 20 potentially inefficient uses of :hover out of 168 total rules.
Very inefficient rules (good to fix on any page):
div.facebook .pp_nav p Tag key with 2 descendant selectors and Class overly qualified with tag
.pp_gallery li.selected a Tag key with 2 descendant selectors and Class overly qualified with tag
.pp_gallery li.default a Tag key with 2 descendant selectors and Class overly qualified with tag
.pp_gallery li.default a img Tag key with 3 descendant selectors and Class overly qualified with tag
Inefficient rules (good to fix on interactive pages):
div.pp_pic_holder a:focus Tag key with descendant selector and Class overly qualified with tag
.pp_gallery ul a Tag key with 2 descendant selectors
.pp_gallery ul a:hover Tag key with 2 descendant selectors
.pp_gallery ul a img Tag key with 3 descendant selectors
#pp_full_res .pp_inline p Tag key with 2 descendant selectors
Rules that use the :hover pseudo-selector on non-anchor elements. This can cause performance problems in Internet Explorer versions 7 and 8 when a strict doctype is used.
