My website is slow
Find where the time goes and fix the usual causes.
- Measure first. Run our free site analysis to see what's slow: the server's response time, or heavy images and scripts.
- Slow server response (high TTFB)? Turn on page caching. On WordPress, use LiteSpeed Cache. Check that you use a current PHP version.
- Heavy pages? Compress and resize images, use WebP, and remove plugins and scripts you don't need.
- Hitting your plan's limits? In cPanel, check Resource Usage. If you often reach the limits, see Upgrading a plan.
- Slow only at certain times? That may be heavy traffic, a scheduled task, or an attack. Note the times and open a ticket.
Our TTFB and server-side caching article explains the most common cause in depth.
