What web server are you using? If you’re using Apache, you should consider switching to Nginx: <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-nginx-php-and-varnish-on-ubuntu-12-04”>How to Install Wordpress, Nginx, PHP, and Varnish on Ubuntu 12.04</a>. <br> <br>Also, you should consider deploying database caching – in case you haven’t, yet. <i>See</i> <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-use-memcache-on-ubuntu-12-04”>How to Install and Use Memcache on Ubuntu 12.04</a>.
