a. Clone the site
b. Disable all plugins
c. Turn them on one by one
Overall the I/O seems low considering the specs. Can they bump that up?

I asked HM whether they can keep that client's site in their own shared hostng or not. But they refused. Hence no more thinking about HM. My present host (their server is at Hivelocity) is giving 200% CPU and 2GB Ram. Still for better performance, I am moving to the latest 4GB Ram one and will let you know how it goes.

Hi, I got a nice yearly deal, shared hosting from some provider and install some WordPress and so far so good. I got an idea and for me, it seems to work.
To add some extra security protection to your /wp-admin/ site you can limit this to certain IP only. Other people won't be able to access this. For more info kindly read this article I made. Too long to paste here.

HM's has a resource usage policy. Something like this:
“Any account should not use more than 25% CPU consistently for more than 5 minutes. If you are consistently using 25% or more CPU, you will need to upgrade to the next available hosting plan. If you are using the maximum hosting plan and are still using 25% or more CPU consistently, then you have most likely outgrown a shared hosting environment and should therefore obtain a VPS or dedicated server to better suit your needs.”
Not sure about the other resources. Anyway, what I would do is:
check the resource usage stats - to see what is taking, and how many resources, at what times, for how long.
see if the website can be optimized, if caching can be implemented (more) efficiently
Only after doing all the "homework", would I go looking for other (more expensive?) hosting solutions. Because I think it's never too late to throw more resources (and money) into a website. But without good optimization, it can go to crazy amounts.
Having said that, if memory serves me well (I would check before buying), Veerotech had reseller hosting policy where they said it's OK to use resources as much as you like. They use CloudLinux LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environment) and LiteSpeed to set limits per account, so neither one can (ab)use more than their given share, and said they are fine with a user taking 100% of those - they'd just be cut to the limit (and site should be fine if run at 90% of those).
Premium price, less crowded servers - that seems to be the story. I hadn't put that to the test though.

I paid around $67 for one year. But only after that I came to know about 2 MBps I/o usage limit. I opened a ticket by requesting to increase upto 4 MBps which they refused.

Using cache plugin (the one with cheetah my favourite cache plugin in WP) along with Bunnycdn. Iam using Postie plugin for auto posting via email. The only problem that iam facing is at 6 pm Indian time. The news with Covid19 data for our state will come out at 6pm. But the news posted via Postie at that time will be published only after 20 minutes. In the Postie settings, it's set to check every 10 minutes and publish 2 posts. But only at 6pm, it will take 20 minutes which is the main reason for moving from current provider.

I've seen spiked resource usage only when doing some major changes - like editing categories hierarchy on a website that uses Polylang where categories for both languages are set to be synced automatically.
But even that didn't cause any downtime, 500 errors etc. The only time I got those errors was when I was on a poor quality hosting - there it happened even when I did no changes to the website. After doing all the optimizations I could, 500 errors had stopped, even during edits/publishing, but load tests failed at about 15 concurrent visitors. So I signed up for a bit more expensive shared hosting, and had no problems even with 50 visitor load tests - so I decided to switch, since I often saw about 10+ people browsing the site at the same time in Google Analytics. And because I had learned about EIG.
What you say might have sense for websites with thousand(s) posts/pages, maybe more than a few editors, and a huge number of visitors - haven't tested that scenario yet. It's an interesting topic to get into.

Looks very similar (identical?) to the available option to bypass cache on cookie that comes with Cloudflare's more expensive paid plans (starts at Business, 200 $ per month).
But you end up relying on Cloudflare, and paying them, every month.

For that WordPress caching, if you wish to cache most stuff, you need the control to not show cached admin versions to users, or one user's version to another.
That cost the 200 $ plan, but if this WP thing works, it will end up costing 5 $ for WP - we'll see.

Plugin seems to be working.
Downside? If you use any other (sub)domain with a website, the plugin introduced rule gets it cashed on Cloudflare.
If it's another WP website - you just need to install the plugin there as well.
If it's a non-WP website, and you don't want it all cached (backend, or some dynamic data) - then you've got a problem.
For the WP APO - found some complaints about subdomains. Not 100% sure it works if there are subdomains used, even if they are configured as A records, not CNAME. Needs looking into.
Also, here I'm not sure what happens if you have other stuff, using subdomains, that isn't WP.

WordPress seems to (as of recently) automatically create a "page" for every media attachment/file (img, pdf whatever) you upload. This sucks for some cookie Plugins which are free until 100 subpages but due to the aforementioned count image pages and attachment pages also towards that number since the attachment pages can, obviously, also contain cookies. This kinda sucks though so I looked around and it seems like the only way to stop the automatic creation of subpage upon media upload (e.g. when you upload picture.jpg a page and permalink named yourdomain.com/picturename will be created) is relying on yet more plugins to stop this. What a pita.
a. Can you ‘noindex’ the image files?
b. There is a script/ plugin for feature image and anyways makes sense to use CDN for media files.
c. I keep 8 or 10 lowers files. All images including Gutenberg gallery /Modula gallery.... I use the dummy images.
Then manually change the image to a CDN and change alt, etc.
Kind of a pain. Looking to automate via script or some other way

Thanks for the ideas, mate. Yeah, I'll give it a thought. For a specific client there are some 30+ PDF pages used. May put them on a public accessible folder (since they are meant to be publicly accessed anyway) in the wp-uploads folder like "/uploads/pdfdocs/.." and link from there. That way no attachment pages are created since I don't upload them via the wordpress media upload function and yet will be backed up if WP is being backed up (including uploads directory). CDN is a good idea in general but not so much for clients that want a setup&forget solution, that is to say without me further managing or taking care of the site (also hosting elsewhere).
You can do this automatically within WordPress using the functions file without the need for a plugin. I suspect this is what the plugin is doing anyway.
I think the Yoast SEO plugin, if you use it, has an option for this as well.
The SEO Framework, along with most other SEO plugins will noindex the media pages. Pro version (paid for one) allows automatic redirection of those (in case you had messed up and the media pages have become indexed by search engines). Or you can use custom code in a child theme to do that. Or get a plugin just for that (my least preferred option - adding one more plugin).
How to change media page URL (if you happen to desire making a page with that URL, but a media is already created with that URL).

I also found smth like https://wordpress.org/plugins/attachment-pages-redirect/#description but, obviously, if the plugin stops being updated... I could also setup redirects in htaccess or similar but oh boy..
Could also host media on a subdomain tbh.. hm

You can do this automatically within WordPress using the functions file without the need for a plugin. I suspect this is what the plugin is doing anyway.
I think the Yoast SEO plugin, if you use it, has an option for this as well.
The SEO Framework, along with most other SEO plugins will noindex the media pages. Pro version (paid for one) allows automatic redirection of those (in case you had messed up and the media pages have become indexed by search engines). Or you can use custom code in a child theme to do that. Or get a plugin just for that (my least preferred option - adding one more plugin).
How to change media page URL (if you happen to desire making a page with that URL, but a media is already created with that URL).
