One trick is to disable object cache in your cache plugin especially if you're using W3 Total Cache. Might also want to try memcached or Redis. If it's only in the backend, could be related to a high CPU plugin you can find in Query Monitor. If both back and frontend TTFB are slow, likely your hosting. Would need to know more about which hosting, plugins, CDN, etc you're using.
Explain why cloudways server is better .. are they using preload in cache? As I know no matter how much cpu cores, ram or ssd tgere is, wordpress with heavy plugins will always take 2s and above for first byte ... so what are they doing so special?
Vultr High Frequency has high CPU clock speeds, uses NVMe, etc (you can read about it more on the Vultr website). Cloudways is just one place to get Vultr HF but there are several other control panels you can use to launch a Vultr HF server (i.e. RunCloud). Cloudways also has several caching layers like Redis, PHP-FPM, Varnish which also help (again, most cloud hosts/control panels have server caching layers so it's not limited to Cloudways). Obviously I get a commission if people sign up for Cloudways but a fast TTFB isn't limited to them. Vultr HF, LiteSpeed, and Google Cloud C2 are some of the fastest servers right now IMO. All good choices.
I have the Cloudways standart version thinking about upgrade server size. Do you thing that the upgrade to high frequency is important? What's the difference? Thanks
Depends on your current server, not sure what you mean by standard. Which cloud host are you using, what's the server size? High frequency is great - fast hardware, NVMe, etc. I switched from Cloudways DO to Vultr HF and noticed a good improvement. I'd say it's worth a try.
I upgraded from DigitalOcean to Vultr HF a little ways back and noticed a decent performance boost, but I wouldn't call it game changing. Both should be fast.
Yep, not to mention the unethical things they've done: managing Facebook Groups to moderate bad things said about SiteGround, using their affiliate TOS to prevent affiliates from saying bad things about them, banning accounts, trying to screw customers over by limiting # of websites on each plan, the list goes on.
Wow, 2 years later and got a lot of value from this vid. My site is way faster now
such a great video! filled some pretty important gaps in my knowledge :)
This is really helpful and work superb
Thanks Sir..
Any time, hope it helped!

@@Onlinemediamasters Vultr Standart 1GB Thinking about Vultr HF 2GB
@@felipens3 Ah yes, I think upgrading to 2GB will help. 1GB is not a whole lot of resources.
I upgraded from DigitalOcean to Vultr HF a little ways back and noticed a decent performance boost, but I wouldn't call it game changing. Both should be fast.
what's about ovh?
They're unmanaged, so you would need to have some experience managing a server.
PS I was shocked @12:30 when I saw that Site ground had one off the worst ttfb's 😂
