Extremely slow TTFB (WordPress)

[AslanBarselinov]

Hi guys. I’m not sure if this is a relevant place to post such question, but I’m really desperate. The TTFB on my website is ridiculously slow no matter what I do.

I’m using Apache and the latest version of WordPress on a VPS (NameCheap).

• 2 CPU Cores
• 2 GB RAM
• 40 GB SSD RAID 10
• 1000 GB/mo Bandwidth

GZIP compression is enabled, images are optimized, CSS, JS, HTML optimized, caching enabled (WordPress plugin), CDN is enabled (Cloudflare), PHP updated to the latest version.

As I said, no matter what I do, TTFB remains very slow (most of the time the TTFB of my website is between 1.5 - 3 seconds). Google Page-speed Insights score is 86 for mobile and 95 for desktop (with 1.5s TTFB).

What do I do about it? Will it affect the rankings of my website?

Thank you so much.

For technical matters regarding your hosting and server, I would address a hosting company. For the rest all the speed optimizations (caching, CDN,...) are ok so I wouldn't waste too much time on that anymore. You can maybe check this mobile site tester from Google, but it won't give you much new information.

The pagespeedinsights-report do show a good page speed, so this will not be affecting your rankings.
