Hey Kent 👋

Improving your site’s response time can depend on a bunch of things like your current Droplet size, server config (Apache, PHP, DB), traffic levels, and whether you’re caching or using a CDN.

I’ve answered a similar question here that might help: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/high-server-response-time-on-droplet-hosted-website

You could look into upgrading your Droplet, tweaking your Apache settings, or adding caching/CDN layers (like Cloudflare) to speed things up.

Happy to take a quick look if you can share more about your current setup!
