Terrible Performance issue in wordpress site

    Hello,

    We are developing a website with almost 9,000 pages. We have around 40 plugins, including Beaver Builder and WPML. Our PHP version is 8.2, and our MySQL version is 8.0. Primarily, we have found that the peak memory in the WordPress site via plugins is around 50 MB. Our server contains 16GB RAM, but our ongoing website development has terrible slow performance issues. Even after enabling Cloudflare, the site is still very slow. So, how can I improve performance and what settings I have to manage on the server side as well?

    Thanks in advanced.

    • Set the memory_limit in your php.ini file to at least 512MB or higher.
    • Enable string translation caching.
    • Reduce active languages if possible.

    I configured the memory limit to 1024MB, enabled OPcache, and increased the maximum execution time. Additionally, I set up caching, moved images to a separate file storage, and migrated the database to a dedicated MySQL server on Azure. However, the server response time in the browser’s network timing tab still ranges between 15 to 20 seconds. admin section also takes too much time.

    That doesn’t sound good. Because then one or more of the plugins you are using may be to blame. From my own experience, I see the WPML plugin you mentioned as a possible significant reason. You could try deactivating all plugins and then reactivating them individually. This way you can find out which one is responsible for a particularly long loading time.

    As I checked with other speed observatory tool , almost i found that TTFB(time to first byte ) is taking around 14 seconds and total blocking time is around 1000 ms. so how can i imporve this both the things and as I have 16GB Memory , but only occupy around 5 GB Memory as below.

    total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available

    Mem: 15Gi 4.2Gi 678Mi 257Mi 10Gi 10Gi

    So do i need any further server configuration?

    No, as described above, the cause is to be found in the WordPress plugins you are using. If you want to run these with high performance, you would probably have to book extremely expensive hosting.
