v1sh4l It depends on the stack you are using. Are many factors that could influece your site speed, and server load.

Please check whether your php has the opcache extension installed, check whether your database has enabled query caching

I think you should use VPS with 2 core and 2Gb ram, it can load about 10 websites is ok, I have a tested server 1core, 1Gb ram but it just loads 10%, sometimes up to 100% but reduce immediately, another main vps gets 4 core, 8Gb - everything is better so much.

daiaracule which vps provider you use?

Jimmy

Upgrade your VPS to a another one with higher hardware resources if it possible. Additionally, set in Cron Clear cache every 12 hours for example and install some plugins to speed up your websites and your server (redis, website speed, memcached, ...).

Jimmy can I use redis without lscache plugin?

Jimmy

Also you can use Cloudflare if you keep this 1 GB RAM server, and set Cache mechanism here : Auto Minify (HTML, JS, CSS) and other caching options available.

aaPanel_Jose How to enable database query caching?

Trust me, WordPress can be memory hungry at times, The Best option is to upgrade. I have been using AAPanel on my server for more than 3 months now without issues related to CPU. VPS with 1 GB is less to run a Panel that uses DB, Webserver, Mail Server, Crons, PHP, etc. My usages stay well below the threshold with 4 websites on them currently..

v1sh4l For this server, I use Linode and AWS(Dev and Prod Environments). What are you on?

pradhan

I actually added two other websites to the server for testing a client's work.

use "htop" & "atop" tools to identify processes which are biting your resources. upgrading your server without finding the reason is not a good solution.
in wordpress websites most of reason is biting CPU by mysql service, if you configure your mysql & setting your php.ini in ideal status regarding your website, it may solve your problem if your visitors and plugins are not resource hungry all the time

pradhan

I would fully agree with Mansoor here, using top to see what is eating up all the resources makes sense.

aaPanel_Jose I don't have the plugin. I only have redis. Should I install opcaxhe?
