Update your PHP version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP is the programming language that WordPress is built on. It is open-source and runs on your web hosting server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, PHP is the scripting language that enables WordPress to display your website and function normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, PHP is continually changing. Updated versions of the language can help boost your website&rsquo;s performance and help it run faster. If you&rsquo;re running an outdated version of PHP, your site might reflect this with a slow admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/update-wordpress-php-version\/\">update your PHP version<\/a>, you&rsquo;ll want to know which version your site is running.

If there is newer software available, you can update your site to that version. By doing so, you can speed up your WordPress admin panel and your overall site performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before updating your PHP version, we recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free\/\">backing up your site<\/a>. If something goes wrong during the update process, you can restore your old website version and avoid losing your data. You can do this manually or by using a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-backup-plugins-compared\/\">WordPress backup plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you&rsquo;ll need to check to see if your WordPress plugins and themes are up to date.

This will update your PHP version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the process may be slightly different if your hosting provider doesn&rsquo;t use cPanel. In that case, we recommend contacting your host&rsquo;s support team if you need any guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"memory\">2. Increase your WordPress memory limit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PHP has a memory limit for your WordPress site. This is the amount of memory that PHP can access to run processes on your website. If this limit is too low, your site may struggle to complete essential functions. Its admin panel will likely slow down significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard PHP memory limit is 32MB. However, this amount may not be enough if you have a large website that needs to run multiple processes, such as an <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/shopify-vs-woocommerce\/\">ecommerce site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can increase your PHP memory limit easily. You can do this by editing your <em>wp-config.php<\/em> file. We recommend accessing the file via <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/what-is-ftp-wordpress\/\">File Transfer Protocol (FTP)<\/a> and opening it in a word processing program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the file open, you can add this line of code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define(&lsquo;WP_MEMORY_LIMIT&rsquo;, &lsquo;X&rsquo;);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, substitute &ldquo;X&rdquo; for the memory limit you would like to use. For example, you might write &ldquo;256&rdquo; to increase your PHP memory limit to 256MB. Then, save your changes and re-upload the <em>wp-config.php <\/em>file via FTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hosting providers might not allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/increase-wordpress-memory-limit\/\">increase your PHP memory limit manually<\/a>. If this is the case, you may need to ask your host to do it on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"heartbeat-api\">3. Limit or disable the WordPress Heartbeat API<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-heartbeat\/\">The WordPress Heartbeat API<\/a> allows your browser to communicate with your server even without a page reload. It&rsquo;s commonly used for <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/autosave-wordpress-feature\/\">auto-saves<\/a> while you&rsquo;re creating content, but the API has other uses, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the WordPress Heartbeat API can also slow down your admin panel. It increases your CPU usage, and too many requests can significantly slow down your server. As such, you might want to limit the API or disable it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, starting by limiting the API is a good choice as disabling it entirely might cause some frustration if you accidentally lose content because there&rsquo;s no auto-save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To limit the Heartbeat API frequency, you can use the free Heartbeat Control plugin from WP Rocket:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper aligncenter large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-heartbeat-control\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"heartbeat-control\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"60\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper--><link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"dashicons-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/css\/dashicons.min.css?ver=6.8.5\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" id=\"wppic-style-css\" href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/dist\/wppic-styles.css?ver=6.1.1\" type=\"text\/css\" media=\"all\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1\" id=\"jquery-core-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/js\/jquery\/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1\" id=\"jquery-migrate-js\"><\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"wppic-script-js-extra\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\nvar wppicAjax = {\"ajaxurl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/themeisle.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-admin\\\/admin-ajax.php\"};\n\/* ]]> *\/\n<\/script>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-plugin-info-card\/assets\/js\/wppic-script.min.js?ver=6.1.1\" id=\"wppic-script-js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Install and activate the plugin.

For example, you might move it to &ldquo;60&rdquo; for the API to run requests once every minute. Then, click on <em>SAVE CHANGES<\/em> to update the plugin settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now refresh your WordPress admin panel and see if this method has sped up the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;d like to disable the API entirely, you can also do this by editing your <em>functions.php<\/em> file.

For example, it may contain post revisions, spam comments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wordpress-transients\/\">transients<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, your database will pick up a lot of &lsquo;bloat&rsquo;. Unfortunately, this excess data can negatively affect your database performance and slow down your WordPress admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it could be wise to clear out your WordPress database to see if this fixes your slow admin panel. You can do this with a <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/best-wordpress-database-plugin\/\">database optimization plugin<\/a>, such as Advanced Database Cleaner:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-pic-wrapper aligncenter large\" style=\"margin:20px 0;\"><div class=\"wp-pic large plugin wp-pic-ajax scheme2\" id=\"wp-pic-advanced-database-cleaner\" data-type=\"plugin\" data-slug=\"advanced-database-cleaner\" data-image=\"\" data-expiration=\"60\" data-layout=\"large\" data-slugs=\"[]\"><div class=\"wp-pic-body-loading\"><div class=\"signal\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- .wp-pic-wrapper-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note &ndash; we always recommend backing up your site before making any changes to your database<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve installed and activated the plugin, head to <em>WP DB Cleaner<\/em>.
