Very high response time on Litespeed Server

[vlohargb]

Hi,
I am running cyberpanel and openlitespeed on Vultr Instance. My instance during this test was 10% occupied. I don't understand what's the problem. Why the response time is over 30 seconds?
I have noticed such behaviour on my other client's websites. I have still not figured out what is the issue.
Ever since I shifted to Litespeed, I have spent more time managing Litespeed than WordPress.
Such a great tool but no proper way to use it without a headache.

Please help!

If possible, could you share the output of the `top` command and see if it's a server load issue?

I was monitoring the Cyberpanel dashboard and the usage was never beyond 10% during the test.
I have attached the top command screenshot please check

Thanks for the information.
If you request any static files, e.g. css, images, do those have a delayed response? If so, it's possibly due to the security settings. If not, then you might want to check the PHP settings.

Yes, Images were also taking a lot of time to load.
Can you explain both the scenarios and their solutions?

I didn't change the default settings.

I just checked my server.
I am not using any security plugins on WordPress.
ModSecurity and other security features of Cyberpanel are not installed.
Open_basedir Protection is disabled

The only security plugin or tool I am using is Cloudflare.

That could be the reason, you can also check the throttling settings.
If it's reproducible, you can submit the issue to support@litespeedtech.com with this forum post link appended.
