Optimizing Google Cloud for a Site

Hi Google Cloud Community,

I'm running a website, (URL Removed by Staff), which helps users increase their Instagram followers for free by providing various tools and strategies. Given the importance of speed and reliability for user engagement, I want to ensure my site performs optimally on Google Cloud.

Currently, I'm experiencing some performance issues, especially during peak traffic times. Here are a few details about my setup:

  • My website is hosted on a Google Cloud VM.
  • I use WordPress with several plugins tailored to social media growth and engagement.
  • I've implemented standard optimization techniques like caching, CDN, and image compression.

Despite these efforts, the site is still slower than I'd like. Could anyone provide advice or best practices specific to optimizing WordPress sites on Google Cloud? Specifically:

  1. What are the most effective ways to configure Google Cloud resources for a WordPress site with moderate to high traffic?
  2. Are there any particular Google Cloud services or tools that can help improve site speed and reliability?
  3. How can I ensure scalability during traffic spikes without compromising performance?

I appreciate any guidance or tips you can share. Ensuring a fast, seamless experience is crucial for my users who rely on TheTopFollows to enhance their Instagram presence.

Thanks in advance for your help!
