  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Slow Wordpress backend with low load

Hello there,
I've a VPS 8 CPUs 16GB of RAM with 2 WordPress and 2 Prestashop installations.

The backend of one of the WordPress installation is very slow, almost 10s to open a page. The frontend is faster, but I'm using a lot of caching strategies.


The load of the vps is around 1.
How comes that the website is so slow and the load is so low?


I already changed the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT (2GB) and the pm.max_children / pm.max_requests ( 50 each ). The website is using PHP 8.2


What would you do ?

Click to expand...

Setting the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to 256MB (at first) and the pm.max.children back to default (10, if I am not mistaken).

In addition, set the max time out to 120 sec.

You are simply overloading the VPS with your current WP configuration and your VPS will use (read: try to use) the resources from the host upon which the VPS is installed : the host will not like that and delay all tasks or even assign less resources to the VPS ...... or, in some cases, shutdown the VPS.

Also, Prestashop is not the most efficiently coded "shop", so try to migrate these installation to another VPS and configure that (other) VPS in such an unique fashion that the VPS is optimally configured for Prestashop (read: the optimal config is different from that of WP).

Kind regards......

PS Do some hunting and debugging on the offending WP sites : it is highly likely that you have a couple of bad plugins.
