Hi I am having extremely bad load times for my website.
“In our test, your server responded in 1.5 seconds”
I have built it on a 4CPU 4GB ram droplet.
Its running WordPress and woocommerce and couple of other plugins.
As far as testing it with out any plugins I get a response time of about .4 /.6 seconds.
But I need the other plugins to make the site what it is. Is there any way to improve the sites response time?
I.e server configuration / DB ?
Currently the server is set up with Centos 7 + plesk. I have also tested the site on another server with the same results.

Hi Plesk uses Nginx for static resources when serving webpages. I have no Idea how Nginx works and I found it a bugger just to configure the Gzip compression settings.
As for Varnish how does it help with caching?
Are you using apache with your server? You could always run nginx as a proxy server to improve delivery speed. Also you might want to look into varnish for your cache.
Those 2 should give you and improvement.
