Why is my website slow and how do I fix it? Print

  • 0

Slow sites usually come from a few common causes. Work through these in order:

  1. Enable caching with the LiteSpeed Cache (LSCache) plugin or server caching.
  2. Optimize images - compress large photos and serve them at the right size.
  3. Reduce plugins/scripts and remove anything you don't use.
  4. Update WordPress, themes, plugins and your PHP version to the latest stable release.
  5. Use a CDN like Cloudflare to serve content closer to visitors.
  6. Optimize your database to clear bloat.

Test before and after with a tool like GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights. If your account keeps hitting resource limits even after optimizing, you may have outgrown your plan - open a ticket and we'll review your usage and suggest the right upgrade.
