    Hi everyone

    My current setup is wordpress on small vps with 2.5gb ram 2vcpu
    Although my website is still frensh 250v/day the crawlers alone do slow the website

    Event load test from GT/Google sometimes less then 0.8 sometimes 4s

    I was thinking of renting another vps on the same datacenter/Location and use it only for database, it is also cheaper than upgrading in my situation.

    But from past experience with google sql cloud, that didn't help on speed load.

    Any thoughts, suggestions ?

    Thank you for reading.

    I think you have a bigger problem than what you described.

    Wordpress install with 250v/day should not take 4 seconds to load. Without looking at your site, its hard to see what is the problem. It could be slow theme, too many plugins, poor vps performance and etc.

    One of my image heavy site is able to fully loaded in 1.4s, and one of my non-image heavy site is doing 1.1s. They are all on the same budget vps, both doing around 5k visitor/day.

    Are you using cache and cloudflare?

    Id agree - 250v/pd and 4 secs - there is definitely a problem

    Have you run your site through GTMetrix to see the waterfall and load times

    What Theme and plugins have you got and whats the WP version ? ie all up to date and current or older ?

    I have a lot of sites on WP and have done a lot over the years, in the end I gave up with all themes and plugins as most are not fit for purpose, dont get upgraded, break sites on a wp upgrade etc The only themes I use now along with the plugins for the themes are StudioPress/Genesis framework....

    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    That highly depends also on VPS server hardware as not all VPS servers are created equal https://community.centminmod.com/th...talocean-vs-linode-vs-vultr-vs-hetzner.17742/

    Probably best to keep all your file/databases on same server as these days rarely is MySQL database server the bottleneck (unless you have unoptimised server/php/cache setup).

    That's why i thought maybe separating database from from-end it may help or like @eva2000 said just buy a better vps

    Did you benchmark your vps and see what is the performance?
    Not sure what others are using here, but I usually use the below script to test the VPS performance for Centos]
    Code:
    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script/master/yabs.sh | bash
    Run this and share the result

    Its not a slow vps, then its something else that is causing the slowness.
    Install Query Monitor plugin, and check the pages that are slow, it will show you what queries are being ran and how much time they took

    You have three different caching plugins, could that cause the random super delayed TTFB?
    I would start by disabling Redis Object Cache and Nginx Helper, and only go with WP Rocket.

    Be sure to configure WP Rocket correctly, as explained here.

    For Centminmod: WP Rocket installation on Nginx

    This guide assumes you have chosen Wordpress Super Cache when creating the site on Centminmod.
    From your plugins I would say you chose Fastcgi cache, so you need to adjust
    • the comment out line and
    • sed -i 's/php-wpsc/php/g'
