Optimizing WordPress performance

What this solves

Your WordPress site is slow. These are the highest-impact fixes on iHoster24 hosting.

Caching

Use one caching plugin (see Caching basics). Enable page cache first; add object cache only if you need it for heavy dynamic traffic.

Images

Compress uploads (Smush, ShortPixel, Imagify). Use appropriate dimensions — don’t upload huge images and scale them down in HTML. Prefer WebP where the plugin supports it. Lazy-load images below the fold.

Plugins and theme

Remove unused plugins and prefer a light theme. Heavy page builders and sliders often dominate load time — disable a few temporarily to measure impact.

Hosting and PHP

Use a plan with enough resources. Set a current PHP version in MultiPHP Manager (8.1 or 8.2+) — How to change PHP version. If CPU/RAM stay pegged after optimization, consider upgrading the plan.

Tip: Measure with PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix before and after changes.

When to contact support

If the server itself is slow or you need plan advice, open a ticket with the domain and a recent speed report.
