WORDPRESS ADMIN FULL

Hosting is the #1 factor of site speed.

I use them and average a <150ms global TTFB (or click through my posts).

WORDPRESS ADMIN FULL

with their free Cloudflare Enterprise will outperform any “mainstream host” since you get 32 CPU cores + 128GB RAM, NVMe storage, Redis, and Cloudflare’s full page caching + Argo Smart Routing. Hosting affects both the frontend and admin panel. Like stat plugins, security plugins are also known for constantly running scans and increasing CPU usage.

Security – use a firewall and go through a security checklist instead.

Theme + Page Builder – Elementor/Divi’s editor aren’t great for admin speed.

Analytics – Google Analytics + Search Console (avoid stat plugins if possible).

SEO – Rank Math or SEOPress (make sure you disable unused modules).

Backups – UpdraftPlus or ManageWP (schedule for non-peak hours).

Translate – MultilingualPress, Polylang (not WPML).

This was made with the help of WP Hive, but I also tested many of them individually since they don’t always impact PSI scores until you add them to the frontend. This way, you can avoid it before even installing it.ħ5+ Slow Plugins – list of common plugins that either increase memory usage or impact PageSpeed Insights scores. WP Hive – free Chrome Extension that lets you browse the WordPress plugin repo and see whether a plugin impacts memory usage. These play a large role in how fast your WordPress admin is.

Environment: PHP version, memory limit, and stats about your server, PHP, and WordPress environment.

Object cache: whether you have a persistent object cache plugin (see step #3).

Errors: take note of errors you see in your report and diagnose the issue.

Queries: if something generates 100+ queries, remove or replace it.

Database: database stats, how large it is, etc (see step #10).

Be sure to delete Query Monitor you’re done since it scans your site and consumes resources. You can also find plugins calling ajax.php in your GTmetrix Waterfall chart by looking for POST admin-ajax.php. Query Monitor – once installed, view any page on your site, then go to “Queries” in the top menu. Use the “Queries by component” tab to see your slowest plugins. Otherwise, there are several tools that can help pinpoint which plugins increase memory usage or make excessive calls to admin-ajax.php. You can always deactivate plugins 1 by 1 while testing admin speed.

Plugins are notorious for slowing down the WordPress admin. Don’t trigger actions that clear the entire cache.Limit Heartbeat, autosaves, post revisions.Check the specs of your current hosting plan and compare them to something like ’s specs who I bet will outperform them with 32 cores + 128GB RAM + NVMe + Redis + Cloudflare Enterprise, and no PHP worker limits. Most hosts use Apache/NGINX when LiteSpeed is faster, while others skimp on CPU/RAM and don’t use faster NVMe SSDs.

I’m referring to WAF, bot fight mode, hotlink protection, crawler hints, and other features to reduce server load.īut I’ll guess 8/10 times, it’s because you’re on shared hosting with low CPU limits and overcrowded servers. CDNs (and Cloudflare Enterprise) can speed up the admin by offloading bandwidth and blocking unwanted requests. From cache plugins to object cache + OPcache (in your hosting account) as well as CDNs with full page caching. While you’re at it, disable (or limit) everything you don’t use: Heartbeat, widgets, transients, and especially background tasks that collect data like statistics and security plugins.įinally, cache everything possible. Disable them and use cron jobs to schedule these at night. For example, most cache plugins do preloading + automatic cache clearing which WP Rocket and LiteSpeed Cache list as common reasons for high CPU usage in their documentation. Next, deactivate plugins 1 by 1 and check their settings. WP-Optimize shows which plugins add the most overhead and lets you remove unused tables. Between the three, you can find slow plugins calling admin-ajax, CPU/memory utilization, database performance, and environment info (PHP, MySQL, and WordPress version).

Query Monitor, WP Hosting Benchmark, and WP Healthcheck are great plugins for diagnosing slow admins.

It’s usually one of those in the majority of cases. The first step to fixing a slow admin is learning if it’s caused by a single plugin, plugin setting, overloaded server, or underpowered server. By the end of this tutorial, your WordPress admin will be faster than ever (if it’s not, leave me a comment with your current setup so I can help).
