This guide explains how to check resource usage in plesk for a VastyHost hosting account.
- Measure the problem before changing settings so you have a baseline.
- Check application, database, PHP, disk, and resource usage for obvious bottlenecks.
- Optimize the largest or slowest components first, such as images, plugins, database queries, or uncached pages.
- Apply one major change at a time and measure again.
- Keep backups and avoid enabling aggressive caching for dynamic pages without testing checkout, login, or account functions.
Before you begin
Keep a current backup before changing production website files, databases, DNS, PHP settings, or application configuration. Exact menu names can vary slightly by Plesk and application version.
