Why Wordpress on Digitalocean is running so slow?

Posted on March 14, 2015

Hey guys,

I’m migrating 2 wordpress applications to digitalocean and one of them is taking about 10 secs on TTFB but on the old hosting service this application takes 1.87 secs on TTFB.

What this could be?

I’m running on a droplet with 1 Gb.

Someone could tell me a way to measure where the wordpress is taking too long or if this is a problem with my droplet’s size?

(I’m using Nginx)
