I noticed an uptick in web crawler activity causing some significant performance loss on the new server.
At one point MariaDB went out-of-memory and crashed. (Thanks to Bruce for sending me an email this morning!)
I've added some additional tweaks/blocks to mitigate. Seems better now. I will continue to monitor closely.

All done! We're now running on DigitalOcean. The price for a small "Droplet" is comparable to our previous host. (About $8-9/mo.)
We have fewer cores/less memory in total but the service is overall faster IMHO. I've also made a few very minor tweaks to the help with performance.

Unfortunately our web hosting service (Hyper Expert) will be shutting down at the end of next week.
As a result the website will be offline for some time this weekend while I work on migrating to a new host.
