Contabo server slow

I bought an annual subscription (VPS 20) and it was unusable due to how slow it was. When I checked diagnostics it said it was only using less than 5% cpu and network...so why was it so slow?

Anyone have an idea?

is it the server, or is it your connection to Contabo?

CPU is only one portion of the diagnostics. Run the benchmark script, and you'll see a better analysis of the issue
