    Dear developers,

    Recently I have switched from Bluehost(Apache) to Siteground(Nginx), and the performance of my site has dropped drastically (dropped ~30 PSI score). I want to ask whether the design of OceanWP is built on a specific server environment or not? Is there a preferred server environment for Oceanwp? or it is completely irrelevant?

    Thank you for reading.

    No wp.org author would design a theme for a specific server environment. It is likely that the htaccess has had some optimisation in the old host. In the new host where Nginx is the web server, the htaccess file is basically void as Nginx doesn’t know or care about what we put in the htaccess file. One can certainly convert the htaccess rules and then convert them for Nginx.

    Can you please post your PSI test result/s to see how it could be improved (for Nginx)?

    Thank you so much for your explanation!

    My current psi(Dropped SG optimizer and turned back to W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare disabled currently): https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhowtostudycantonese.com%2F

    In both desktop and mobile result, the CPU idle time is high and the TTFB is high. Is it possible that the problem is related with the server?

    Thank you for reading.
