 ===== Many queries =====
-Your TTFB may be high if your website makes very many database queries, or consists of very unoptimized application code (such as PHP). A common example of this is WordPress websites that use dozens of plugins. If possible, look into reducing the workload for your application. Caching may also help alleviate this: consider using [[litespeed_wiki:cache:|LiteSpeed Cache]] if you aren't already.

A common example of this is WordPress websites that use dozens of plugins. If possible, look into reducing the workload for your application by disabling plugins or unnecessary features.
+===== Insufficient caching =====
+Caching is a good idea for almost all database-driven applications: serving a cached version of a dynamic page will lead to a vastly reduced workload, and improved TTFB. This is especially beneficial if your website has many database queries that can't be avoided or reduced.
+LiteSpeed offers a caching plugin for many popular CMSes: [[litespeed_wiki:cache:|LiteSpeed Cache]].
