Hello, I have more than 18 years of experience in System Administration, Network Administration, DevOps, Cyber Security, and many other IT fields. I worked many years as a sysadmin and DevOps for a web hosting company. We had many Magento websites and almost all of them needed performance tuning after growing the number of sku. There are many optimization settings that can be done in Linux, Apache or Nginx, MySQL and Magento.
Regards,
