I recently tested my website with google page speed, and it suggest several things I could do to make the website better. One of the points was it is very slow (0.7sec) response time.

When I asked my host about it, they gave me the following answer:

The Server response time provided by most of the test engines is misleading.
In most of the cases this is just the site responding slowly.
To test the real Server response time, just place a simple php file into the site and load it directly trough the browser.
That why you will see the actual Server response time.
Best regards,

I smell bs answer here, or is my host accually right?​
 
Your host is right. And 700ms is not slow with how many variables are going into it.
 
The web load speed should be 2 to 5 seconds. If your website has more TFTB that is time to load first byte then you should optimize your website. You can take any of the below actions to increase the web page load speed -

1. Optimize images, scripts, databases, code on your website.
2. Use CDN to increase the TFTB
3. Remove the repeated code/CSS
4. Remove the unnecessary pages from the website
 
Thanks for all the replies, Managed to sort it out other places, this did not seem to be a problem as stated above
