    – What are the steps to run a diagnostic?

    Thanks

    You’ll need to contact your hosting provider’s support about that, since the server’s response time is under their control.

    If you click the YSlow log on that test provided, you’re going to see a couple things you can address.

    Personally, I’d recommend activating a CDN, such as Cloudflare (since it’s free) and also adding a WordPress caching plugin.

    If your web host is using LiteSpeed, the LiteSpeed Cache plugin is excellent. If not, you can settle for W3Total Cache which is also pretty good.

    As James stated, your web hosting company can assist with actual server response time, but it maybe good to test the site using a default WordPress theme without any plugins just to make sure it’s not the theme or plugins causing the lag.

    Best of luck speeding up your WordPress website!
