Slow website troubleshooting

What this solves

Your site is slow. This guide helps you find the cause and improve speed.

Measure first

Use GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, or similar. See which resources are slow (server response time, large images, many requests, render-blocking).

Server response time

If TTFB (time to first byte) is high, the server or app is slow. Check: PHP version and memory, database size and queries, and whether the plan has enough resources. Enable caching (see “Caching basics” and “Optimizing WordPress performance”).

Front-end

Optimize images, reduce requests, minify CSS/JS, use a CDN if helpful. Fix “Eliminate render-blocking resources” and “Largest Contentful Paint” issues reported by PageSpeed.

When to contact support

If the server is consistently slow or you need a resource check, open a ticket.
