best dedicated server settings for speed and performance?

I’m now running a fully dedicated server with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Plesk Obsidian 18 with the below stats/settings:

8 core Intel Xeon CPU E3-1230 v3 @ 3.30GHz
32GB DDR3 RAM
2x2TB Raid SATA III
PHP 8.0.28, Dedicated FPM app served by nginx
1GB bandwidth

PHP FPM Settings:

Max Children: 75
Max Requests: Default
pm: dynamic
pm.start_servers: 10
pm.min_spare_servers: 5
pm.max_spare_servers: 20

I also use ngnix and op cache.

It’s very fast, but sometimes takes 4 or 5 seconds to load a page, or post an animated GIF. Is this normal? I can understand on a shared server.

What can I do to make it respond faster? Thanks!
