WordPress site, long serve reponse times, how to debug this?

I'm currently working on optimizing a WordPress website, but I'm facing a persistent issue: the page load times are significantly delayed due to long server response times. I'm relatively new to WordPress, so I'm not very familiar with how to address this problem.

Screenshot of the Performance tab

I've attempted to optimize the website using LiteSpeed Cache and have updated all the plugins, but the problem persists.

The backend server is Nginx, and the cache seemed to be working. I guess you were loading the page without serving from the cache? Just refresh it again and you should get a better page loading time.

curl -I https://cansultadev.wpengine.com/
HTTP/2 200
server: nginx
date: Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:04:49 GMT
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

To investigate the initial page loading slowly issue, you could use tool like Newrelic to observe the whole process loading time for PHP and DataBase, or simply ask WP Engine for the details.

I saw you have the LiteSpeed cache plugin installed. Since you have Nginx and other cache system running on the server already, the cache of LSCache part will auto-disable to avoid any conflict, so you may see the x-litespeed-tag without any hit or miss. You can still use the optimization features, e.g. CSS/JS optimization, Image Optimization, Guest Mode ..etc to improve the "page score".
