If it's a TTFB issue, then it's definitely the server crunching and trying some kind of behind-the-scenes logic which is slowing things down. You have to figure out which server is taking so long. If it's something you can control, then you can put breakpoints in the code and monitor that.

If it's a delay with a remote server, then you might need to talk to their tech team to figure it out. You can see the handshake in the browser in real time, and it should be clear what's happening when (from the browser's perspective). After that, you need to do some performance testing on the actual software.

If you're primarily using WordPress, I'll DM you some info that might be useful.
