I hear this a lot. Someone tells me their site feels sluggish. Their host suggested upgrading to a more expensive plan. A developer mentioned a CDN. A friend recommended a caching plugin. But where should they actually invest their time and money.

Most slow websites aren’t slow because of where they’re hosted. They’re slow because of what’s on them. The host is usually the last thing to fix, not the first.
