If your website frequently reaches CloudLinux resource limits, follow these best practices to optimize performance and reduce resource consumption.
1. Optimize Your Website Code
-
Minimize CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files using tools like Autoptimize.
-
Reduce the number of external scripts (ads, social media widgets, analytics, etc.).
-
Enable Lazy Loading for images so they load only when needed.
2. Optimize Database Usage
-
If using WordPress, install the WP-Optimize plugin to clean up old revisions, spam comments, and transient data.
-
Use InnoDB instead of MyISAM in MySQL for better performance.
-
Avoid unnecessary database queries and optimize indexes.
3. Enable Caching
-
Use LiteSpeed Cache (for WordPress, Magento, Joomla, etc.) to reduce server load.
-
Enable Browser Caching in
