If your site is getting traffic you will have to look at upgrading your server. Compression and Caching only go so far.
You can only fit so many clowns into a car ;-)
When you hit this ceiling you have a few choices. Either toss more logs on the fire and increase the size of the server (vertical scale) or make more fires (horizontal scale)
When the consumption of resources increases, you’ll need more resources. It’s a technical limitation. Increase your droplet size.
Sorry i forget to mention wordpress although caching plugin can handle 10k user but Nginx fast cgi cache isn’t why?
