Knowledgebase

Short answer: start with caching, large images and too many plugins. Every plan runs on LiteSpeed, so the LiteSpeed Cache plugin is the one to try first. If it's still slow, open a ticket with the page address.

Every hosting plan includes the LiteSpeed web server.

Check these in order

1. Caching. On LiteSpeed, install and switch on the LiteSpeed Cache plugin. Use one caching plugin only.
2. Images. Big photos straight from a camera or phone slow pages down. Resize them before uploading, or use an image optimiser.
3. Plugins. Deactivate plugins you don't use. Test the site after each change.
4. Theme. Heavy page builders and sliders add weight.
5. Updates. Keep WordPress, plugins and PHP current. See "How do I update WordPress, themes and plugins safely?" and "How do I change my PHP version?".
6. Your plan. A busy shop may need more room. See "How do I upgrade or downgrade my hosting plan?".

If it still doesn't work

Open a support ticket with the slow page's address and roughly when it's slow.
