Why is your server slow?
Poor performance is not always caused by one obvious issue. It can come from CPU overload, insufficient RAM, slow disk operations, database bottlenecks, network latency, background processes running at the wrong time, or incorrect web server configuration.
Start with diagnostics:
- check CPU, RAM, and swap usage;
- review disk space and disk I/O;
- analyze database queries and indexes;
- test latency and bandwidth;
- check cron jobs, backups, and background tasks;
- review application and web server logs.
Optimization should come first. But if the workload has grown and the server is constantly overloaded, it may be time to move to a stronger VPS configuration.
