Wordpress Dashboard too slow

[8cores]

Hello folks, the WP dashboard of my website is way too slow. It takes so much time to publish a post. Also I run into much Database troubles. (error establishing database) and all.

Plugins - I hardly have 5 - 7 plugins (very light weight)

What to do?

If you are using shared host they might be having problems with their mysql setups.

Are your errors connection or resource errors having to do with mysql. If yes contact your host and let them have the errors you are getting.

Happens when the MySQL server crashes. Happens far too often on free web hosting providers.

Get a VPS. You won't regret it.

I think your mysql server went down due to high load (or there might be another issue as well) But you can rectify this by doing some optimizations (if you don't want to upgrade to vps)

For example there are many plugins for cPanel varnish, nginx that can increase your website performance which will reduce mysql errors then. Varnish and nginx are both easy to install.

Plus you can apply cloud flare to your website, cloud flare will also reduce the load on your site.
