When I use Pingdom speed test and Google's speed test both give me the conclusion that my server response time is ridiculously slow...I'm using a Rackspace server.
I'm just trying to get a general direction where I need to start troubleshooting. Should I look into different hosting? Am I having a server problem or a DNS problem?
Thanks for any and all help provided from the community.
See the result picture from Pingdom below:
This clearly isn't a DNS problem since "wait time" is counted after domain was resolved and connection to server has been established.
What you can start with on WordPress level is getting a plugin which will show you is this time is actually spent inside WP page load.
Laps (disclosure — developed by me) or Query Monitor are what I look at first for issues like this.
