My website has a really long TTFB, about 10-20 seconds. Here are the results from webpagetest: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/191231_XT_1c7004d39484c32e8e2493c4b4bb75c4/2/details/

The web bytecheck says that the very long task is SSL. But the SSL certificate (letsencrypt) seems to be ok (ssllabs.com/ssltest gives an A grade).

Also I think it is not a code issue, because if I create a new html static page that only contains the word "hello", it also takes several seconds to load. The server doesn't seem to be overload either, the command htop shows a very low CPU and RAM usage.

So, any idea what can be slowing the website?

Maybe the network is very loaded in on your hosting server? Try to deploy on another hosting and check if it is so. – 112Legion Dec 31 '19 at 07:57
How can I check if the network is very loaded? But I don't think so, the provider is Hetzner, and my server is dedicated. – Victor Dec 31 '19 at 08:05
Find out what's happening on the server side with logging. – marblewraith Dec 31 '19 at 08:33
what kind of logging? – Victor Dec 31 '19 at 08:48
