Hi drdaga,

First of all, 40k users per month is nothing, even with the smallest droplet you can support such amount of users.

• Poorly coded themes or plugins can cause these kind of issues.
• Do you have Redis enabled for object cache? (available in Webinoly)
• Are you using FastCGI for page cache? (available in Webinoly)
• Check your logs and see what is happening.

Remember, is not the same having 40k users viewing a plain text page and 40k users viewing a filtered search result page with intensive DB querys.

Regards.
