Very slow https redirect – Adds 10 seconds to load time – CPanel

I am experience wait times of up to 12 seconds due to the ssl redirect. I’ve tried may things and can’t seem to figure out why. It seems to be the worst when using ‘www.thesoapopera.com.’

Almost twelve seconds with www.thesoapopera.com:
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/BBsdZ/www.thesoapopera.com

1.13 Seconds with the full https://www.thesoapopera.com:
https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/cPx3LD/https://www.thesoapopera.com

Almost back to back tests and the website takes 10 seconds longer to load! Here is my htaccess file:
