There can be n number of reasons and n depends on your specification

According to what you have specified you can have a look at,

  1. System counters of webserver/appserver like cpu, memory, paging, io, disk
  2. What changes you did to application if any, were those changes performance costly i.e. have a round of analysis on those changes to check whether any improvement is required.
  3. If system counters are choking then check which one is bottleneck and try to resolve it.
  4. Check all layers/tiers of application i.e. app server, database, directory etc. if database is bottleneck then identify costly queries and apply indexes & other DB tuning If app server is choking then, you need to identify & improve the method which is resource heavy.

Performance tuning is not a fast track process, it takes time, identify bottlenecks and try to solve it and repeat the process until you get desired performance.
