Hi
I’ve been optimising my website http://ramonlapenta.com to load as fast as possible, but after doing everything I know and testing my website in Google Page Speed and GT Metrix, they both say that I need to reduce server response time:

I have been getting “Reduce server response time” issues with the Pagespeed Insights tool.
To test whether it is due to DNS, PHP, Wordpress or hosting issue, I duplicated my website at Digitalocean and pasted it in Google Cloud - Google Compute Engine instance.
Problem solved! In Google Cloud I’m able to get faster server response times and pass the Pagespeed test with flying colors even with the smallest VPS in gcloud.
So it’s not due to PHP or Wordpress. Digitalocean server has server response time issues. The difference was between 300ms and 1s.

Hi fspoettel <br> <br>I made some tests without the plugins (I’m not using Dots now, but I’m using one for 500px and one for twitter). <br>In the tests I found that pages with basic content (about/profile, contact) it loads quicker, around 0.7s response time, but in the blog listing page which is not loading any plugins the response time is still around 2.2s. <br>I’ll have a look at your suggestion, but I believe it should still be faster.
