Well, I just discovered loader.io, and I sent 1000 requests in one minute, and I guess the results are very good. The server was obviously already set up with the website and everything, and the website is also cached.

I am really happy with the loading time while the server was attending to the request. Actually, the response time is also really good.
I hope this information will help other users as well.
See? No worries like I told you. This server is way more than enough.
Just don't bloat it with 10 different apps, 10 monitoring agents & 30 Wordpress plugins and it will fly.
for website load tests, I usually use k6 https://k6.io
you need another vps to access your website, and do a test by setting the number of virtual users and duration,
this is an example script with 100 virtual users
cache + cdn really helps wordpress site
A small VPS can handle about 200 push-ups before it breaks.

Just get shared hosting. So much less headache and more productive.
Thanks for your detailed explanation for newbie learners. As Cache Enabler and Litespeed Cache plugins are for client side WordPress cache, so what are the server side cache to use for Litespeed and Nginx servers?
Do monitoring agents also bloat? What about online monitoring websites?
Both Cache Enabler and Litespeed Cache are for server side.
For client side you only need to set correct cache headers, nothing more.

One monitor agent is not a bloat, 10 of them is.
I have experience to host a wordpress blog on 1 vCPU/512MB ram VPS. it can handle 16k daily unique visitors without problem using LEMP stack + cloudflare and caching plugin.
I can handle a small vps just not small bobs
And it also depends on your plugins and theme.
For the curious people interested in this, I checked the same WordPress site and the same server with 10.000 requests in one minute, and the results are not bad at all.
The average response time is excellent, I would say.

An important detail is that the page size is 2.6 MB (home). The positive point here is that the VPS is really good for the exercise, and the cost, if I remember correctly, is around 16 USD per year.
Have a good day!
