It's WordPress, which is a great CMS but can quickly crumble under load when using cheap hosting.
With an external cache/CDN it should work perfectly fine.
There are also some caching plugins for wordpress, but most of them still hit the database on every request.
So I assume it's because it's not statically build, but requires a DB connection all the time?
