I use them and average a <150ms global TTFB (or click through my posts).
#WORDPRESS ADMIN FULL#
with their free Cloudflare Enterprise will outperform any “mainstream host” since you get 32 CPU cores + 128GB RAM, NVMe storage, Redis, and Cloudflare’s full page caching + Argo Smart Routing. Hosting affects both the frontend and admin panel. Like stat plugins, security plugins are also known for constantly running scans and increasing CPU usage. Security – use a firewall and go through a security checklist instead.Theme + Page Builder – Elementor/Divi’s editor aren’t great for admin speed.Analytics – Google Analytics + Search Console (avoid stat plugins if possible).SEO – Rank Math or SEOPress (make sure you disable unused modules).Backups – UpdraftPlus or ManageWP (schedule for non-peak hours).Translate – MultilingualPress, Polylang (not WPML).This was made with the help of WP Hive, but I also tested many of them individually since they don’t always impact PSI scores until you add them to the frontend. This way, you can avoid it before even installing it.ħ5+ Slow Plugins – list of common plugins that either increase memory usage or impact PageSpeed Insights scores. WP Hive – free Chrome Extension that lets you browse the WordPress plugin repo and see whether a plugin impacts memory usage. These play a large role in how fast your WordPress admin is. Environment: PHP version, memory limit, and stats about your server, PHP, and WordPress environment.Object cache: whether you have a persistent object cache plugin (see step #3).

Errors: take note of errors you see in your report and diagnose the issue.Queries: if something generates 100+ queries, remove or replace it.Database: database stats, how large it is, etc (see step #10).Be sure to delete Query Monitor you’re done since it scans your site and consumes resources. You can also find plugins calling ajax.php in your GTmetrix Waterfall chart by looking for POST admin-ajax.php. Query Monitor – once installed, view any page on your site, then go to “Queries” in the top menu. Use the “Queries by component” tab to see your slowest plugins. Otherwise, there are several tools that can help pinpoint which plugins increase memory usage or make excessive calls to admin-ajax.php. You can always deactivate plugins 1 by 1 while testing admin speed. Plugins are notorious for slowing down the WordPress admin.
