What causes server slowdown?

Update time: 2023-07-31

I believe that many webmaster friends have encountered the situation where the server suddenly slows down. Many friends will start to scold the server as rubbish when the server speed suddenly slows down. In fact, sometimes the slowness of the server is not due to server garbage, but may also be caused by non-server quality reasons. Here are some of the most common reasons for slow server speeds.

1. The load on the server is too large

When you get a server, you need to understand and know the performance of your server and the maximum load it can carry. When using it, the processes performed by the user exceed the processing power and storage space of the server itself, which means This will cause the server to respond more and more slowly. When the running processes exceed the capacity of the server, the load used needs to be adjusted and corrected to ensure that the server can operate within its capabilities.

2. Local network reasons

When we find that the speed of the server suddenly slows down, we can first confirm the local speed without immediately suspecting that there is a problem with our own server. You can ping well-known domain names and check the ping value. If the ping value is high, it means there is a problem with the speed of your computer.

3. The physical resources of its server are not sufficient to support operation.

When you are using a server and it is getting slower and slower, the first thing you should pay attention to at this time is whether the physical resources of your server are sufficient. If the disk space is full and the server cannot run the program, reactions will naturally occur. slow phenomenon, at this time, you only need to add a memory or add another processor to run normally.

4. Problems with telecommunications or international routing

If there is a problem with the international routing of broadband providers such as telecommunications networks, the server will slow down. Friends who use overseas servers may often encounter this. If a node cannot be disconnected or routed, it affects users passing through that node, who will also experience server slowdowns at this time. This situation is not caused by the computer room or the local computer, so we can only wait for the broadband service provider to repair the routing.

5. Insufficient resources or server poisoning

If the server resources are insufficient, the use of CPU or memory to execute the software will also become slower. In this case, the system can be optimized. Please do not execute unnecessary software. If the server is attacked, it will also slow down. When choosing a server, it is recommended to choose a computer room with a hardware firewall installed to provide basic security protection for the server.
