This is definitely true, which is why you should try to use relatively simple themes. The more complex the theme the more overhead it creates. Like calling external javascripts and multiple css files. It all effects load time however small it may seem to you.

That's VPS territory. If you're on shared, 20 sites will be a struggle anywhere.

just load a cdn and use other plugins to speed up.

Added plugins can cause more harm than good, if the plugins are not directly targeting a specific "optimization" issue, and a CDN only helps with media-heavy stuff, not PHP. Even a well-optimized WordPress still will choke given too-few resources.

Woow .. You really are a beginner on this subject .. Still you make these statements and recommendations about WordPress and how a CDN is working? You need to study some more before you try to help people and not giving them false statements.

Hosting is not rocket science. SEO is a foreign language, and I have a long way to go before I'm happy with my understanding there, but hosting is very straightforward.
Please, provide me case studies that show specifically how "Throwing Plugins" at a wordpress install will increase it's performance 100% of the time?
I did not state that plugins NEVER help. I simply stated that plugins CAN cause undesired results if they are not used properly.
And a CDN, By Design, is used for static, rarely changing content. This can oftentimes include CSS, JavaScript, Photos, extremely static content, but typically does not contain the dynamic aspects of a site, namely the PHP, or other "functional" aspects of the sites code.
Please, tell me where and why I am wrong, and I'll be happy to investigate further.

A CDN is distributing the STATIC cache that a WordPress cache plugin builds or the servers cache system, therefor NOT only for "media-heavy stuff". "Even a well-optimized WordPress still will choke given too-few resources." It will take a very small VPS to be "choked" by a well-optimized WordPress website, since you can run it in combo with a CDN and make it fly on really small resources ( example: 40 Million hits a day on WordPress using a $10 VPS )
Why you chose to talk about SEO I have no idea .. =)

I'm sorry, I must have missed where we were talking about SEO, wasn't the thread about speeding up a WordPress in a hosting environment?
Also, I'm not sure if you noticed, My first comment here was:
So really, you may be correct in what you're saying as far as SEO and VPS hosting goes, but it's completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I am still not sure why you keep talking about SEO, since I never brought it up anywhere in this thread.
Regarding my example with VPS, if you can run 40M hits on that, a well configured shared hosting will go a long way with a well configured WordPress website without choking as you said "Even a well-optimized WordPress still will choke given too-few resources" ..

A reseller-hosting-account where every sub-account is getting their own dedicated resources that do not prey on the other sub-accounts .. couple of bux more but well invested money if you do not wan´t to go the VPS route .. Also a CDN for the domains would off-load the server by 70-90% depending how it is configured .. BunnyCDN has a great service with excellent servers, starts at a minimum of $10 per year with about 1TB of bandwidth, more GB is cheap.

You don't need a CDN unless you're a huge website. It will actually hurt your image ranking because the images won't be coming from your domain. If you really want to speed up WordPress, make sure
1) your images are compressed and optimized
2) you use caching (wprocket is good, does alot)
3) cut out some of the junk ie. minify code, lower http requests, disable emojis, gravatars, embeds and querystrings.

You configure your CDN with your domain: cdn.example.com and no problem with SEO, also using a CDN on a small site is a great way to go for speed improvements world-wide and with speed improvements comes better SEO as a bonus. So you should definitely have a CDN on every site you build.
