Here are the four points on how you can minimise resource usage:
Site updates
Check the latest updates you have made to your site. Recent updates may impact your resource usage levels.
New plugins/modules/themes
Before installing a plugin/module/theme, consider researching it on Google to ensure there are no known issues with the script. It is also advisable to always keep your plugins/modules/themes updated.
If you have installed a new plugin/module/theme, try disabling it and monitor the impact on your account’s performance for at least 10 minutes.
Site traffic
Suppose you are getting overwhelmed or have increasing website visitors and resource outages. In that case, we recommend you review your current plan to upgrade or optimise your hosting plan to meet demands.
Optimise your website
Optimise your website using various plugins. For example, use the ‘WP-Optimise’ plugin to optimise the database.
Similarly, using the combination of GTmetrix and cPanel statistics plugins, you can check the large images, files, and videos that are slowing down the website speed.
