Still running 10$ VPS at DigitalOcean, I started to experience slow loading a few days ago. Not only do I understand that the VPS is the minimal recommended one, but I can also see there is lack of space. Running just around 400 users and just 50 of them being active, I’m confused whether it is disk space and/or VPS processing power that is a bottleneck.

What is the best way to check and know for sure?
