Sites on Back+Frontend Digital Ocean too slow. Time to upgrade VPS ressources? [Photos]

Here is what the ressources usage looks like right now:


You can see which plan I have and which upgrades are available:


So, is it just a matter of ressources reaching their limit and need to upgrade? Or is there something else to it?

All sites are on WP, some with more plugins than others, Cloudflare enabled and all abnormally slow.

What are the GTMetrix scores? Do you have a plain NGINX running or some kind of service like RunCloud?

You need to be more specific than just "slow". What exactly is slow?

Is your wp-admin laggy/unresponsive? Does your site take too long to load? What exactly is being slow?

Without this info, it's hard to pinpoint whats the problem. It would be your hardware, it would be a cache-burst at cloudflare and latency to your droplet is too high, it would be a browser issue. Lot of variables.

Plain Litespeed, no RunCloud or other server panel. Web panel is Cyberpanel.

Like every page takes 3-5 seconds to load, sometimes up to 9-10 sec, in backend and frontend.
Not hardware issue, tested Shopify backend+frontend is blazing fast compared to my VPS WP sites. "cache-burst at cloudflare", how to measure this? "latency to your droplet is too high" maybe I should have picked a VPS region closer to my location, should I migrate all my sites there and see, but the frontend issue wouldn't be addressed since I use Cloudflare. Nothing wrong with my browser, every site is fast except mine

With all this, I am suspecting server ressources. Based on the photo, is an upgrade there called for?
