I’m running a WordPress site on a server with AlmaLinux 9 and cPanel. The site itself is fast, but the admin panel is very slow.

When I check the server using htop, I see php-cgi processes consuming 94%-96% of CPU when accessing the admin panel. I have 34 active WordPress plugins, many of which are essential and cannot be disabled.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  1. Adjusted php.ini settings (increased memory_limit, max_execution_time).
  2. Optimized the database.
  3. Disabled unnecessary dashboard widgets.

Despite these changes, the admin panel remains slow with high CPU usage. Any suggestions for further optimization?

Server Details:

  • OS: AlmaLinux 9
  • cPanel installed
  • PHP version: 8.1
  • WordPress version: latest version
  • Active plugins: 34

  • I'm also facing exact same issue, I also have same server config. Already spent a lot of time, can't figure it out. There is a discussion thread on techoforum.com/t/woocommerce-slow/410/1 keep an eye on that, may be someone can come up with a solution. Commented Nov 30, 2024 at 21:59
