I have a dedicated box with comparable server specs, running about 6 HEAVY websites. I have load times of less than 1sec (typically .2-.4 sec).
My assumption would be that the LiteSpeed Cache plugin isn’t optimized for your needs.
You’ve left out a few essential details. Most importantly, is your website news/blog/ecommerce/etc ? If so, you need to ensure that you have ESI enabled and entirely setup/configured.
Additionally, (assuming that you have a sitemap.xml generated) have you added your sitemap URL to the crawler? I’ve seen poor results when there isn’t a sitemap… so, while I’m not 100% certain on how everything works in the LiteSpeed cache plugin, I can say that this part is VERY essential.
Also, ensure that you’re connected to quick.cloud in General settings. If you don’t, you’re not going to see a lot of optimizations that you would/could benefit from.
…in summary, I can say that with a server like yours, it really should not be the server slowing your site down.
