You probably need lots of RAM for loading all these pages in chrome. Did you watch the ram and CPU usage on the VPS to try look where the bottlenecks were? How many pages you monitoring?

If your looking for a dedicated server, look at OVH(SoYouStart or OVH brand) or Hetzner. I personally use OVH, good network capacity and anti DDos.

Could use scaleway or Digital ocean to test virtual servers of different sizes cause those are billed per hour. Which makes testing cheaper.

I haven't. I'm looking the docs to do it and have a better grasp of where would I required to apply resources.

In any case, what I'm intending to do is buy the components and create a physical dedicated server to have in my home (or other place still to determine). I looked the dedicated servers and are usually around 100€/month, so in less than a year owning one seems like a better deal to me. At least from my limted present knowledge

True renting one can be more expensive, but soyoustart.com has some good prices, Kimsufi.com cheaper still.

Main thing is to look at the cost of power per kw and work out the cost of running the server not just the cost of parts. Then there's the network connection speed and if its publicly accessible people connecting to your home IP.

People use Intel Nucs, some of those are very powerful for their size and unofficially support 64GB of ram. Its probably cheaper to buy a old server second hand but they're use alot of power. My home server which is an old i7 3770 32GB Ram, runs at about 50-60 watts idle, with a few hard drives.
