I’m switching from Site5 due to slow server response times that I’ve experienced and seen reported by Google Page Speed reports. Slow being more than 200 milliseconds according to Google. I’m seeing 500 milliseconds on a clean Droplet and I was surprised, particularly because it has the well advertised SSD. Can anyone help me understand what it would take to get 200 milliseconds consistently? More RAM? CPU? I’m running a 512Mb WordPress Droplet.
