Hi there,
I would suggest a few things:
- Try following the steps from this tutorial here on how to tweak your MySQL server for better performance:
-
Add a caching plugin for your site so that it would make fewer requests to the database itself.
-
Use a CDN service like Cloudflare to make reduce the overall work that your server has to do.
-
Consider switching to a Managed MySQL database which is optimized for you out of the box:
