server processing power

  • my current hosting service doesn’t seem to have enough server processing power, which is causing me tones of problems with creating content using the WordPress dashboard. How can I find out the minimum server processing power my blog needs to avoid these problems?

  • Quick fix… buy some more horsepower. A better, faster server or server account.

    Possibly a better fix… update your PHP. You are running 7.0.33. I recommend 7.3.X which would be the latest, greatest.

    Move everything other than the web services off of your server… let your domain provider or CloudFlare do your DNS. Move the email elsewhere. Cron tasks, too.

    Pare down your running plugins…

    Move half your hosting load to another server. Host the site elsewhere but leave the database where it is or vice versa.

    Consider Cloud-based hosting.

    Maybe a CDN.

    Add a cache… better yet… add a proxy box out front. Your host ‘One and One’ might already offer that.

    CloudFlare might help once you get the site speed up better. If you don’t fix the response first you’ll get 500 errors from the CloudFlare free tier.

    Build a local box to offload the creative side of things like new posts, pages, and such and synchronize those manually or with a plugin.

    If you are running the Broken Link Checker plugin then go in and change the default settings from 72 hours to something like 480 hrs and lose the extra features. Tell the BLC to only run once an hour.

    Back to CloudFlare… CloudFlare’s DNS might help block anyone trying to abuse your site via DDOS attacks.

    A firewall like WordFence might help.

    Look into IP blocking foreign servers from troublesome areas and anything outside your market area.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I don’t know that much about computers (especially servers). I’m new to blogging, my blog is pretty basic, and I’ve been told the problems I’m having with my dashboard is because my blog surpasses the server processing power I get. However, they won’t tell me how much server processing power my blog needs to stop the issues I’ve been having with the WordPress dashboard (content not saving preview not working, and posts deleting as I’m writing them).

    I’m not making any money off my blog at the moment and their barely any justification to spend huge amounts more on just a simple blog. Thus, I’m hoping if I can find out just how much server processing power my blog needs, I can then move to a package that is cheap enough for me to pay for whilst ridding me of the dashboard issues I’ve been having.

    Unfortunately, 1&1, my provider, won’t tell me what the minimum server processing power my blog needs to run without dashboard issues.
