Is your WordPress site running slow? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Before reaching out to our support team, please go through this checklist to ensure that you’ve covered all the basics.
Checklist:
1. LiteSpeed Cache is activated: Ensure that LiteSpeed Cache is installed, activated, and configured correctly. This plugin can significantly improve your site’s performance. It’s exclusive to our server technology.
2. All plugins are up to date: Outdated plugins can cause compatibility issues and slow down your site. Make sure all plugins are updated to their latest versions.
3. WooCommerce database is updated: If you’re using WooCommerce, ensure that your database is updated. This can be done by going to WooCommerce > System Status > Tools and running the “Update database” tool. You may also see an alert in your WordPress dashboard.
4. WordPress is updated: Ensure that your WordPress installation is updated to the latest version.
5. Active theme is updated: Make sure your active theme is updated to its latest version. Outdated themes can cause compatibility issues and slow down your site.
6. Site is scanned for malware: Run a malware scan on your site to ensure it’s free from any malicious code. You can use a plugin like Wordfence or MalCare to scan your site.
7. Plugin audit performed: Review your plugins and remove any that are no longer needed or are causing issues. Too many plugins can slow down your site.
8. Reduce plugin usage: If possible, try to reduce the number of plugins used on your site. This can help improve performance and reduce potential conflicts.
