Each hosting package includes a guaranteed amount of server capacity, such as CPU and memory resources.

🚦 Maximum Capacity Reached

When the limit is reached, your website may slow down or become temporarily unavailable. Possible causes:

• Plugin or script: A faulty or memory-intensive plugin may enter a loop.
• Cronjob: Incorrectly configured cronjobs can consume all server resources.
• Poorly built website: Inefficient coding or too many plugins can overload your hosting resources.
• High visitor numbers: A sudden spike in traffic can fully consume your server capacity.

🛠️ Solving Capacity Issues

Ask yourself:

• Has anything recently changed on your website?
• When did the issues start?
• Is there a lot of traffic from a single IP address?
• Are there many error messages in the Error Log?
• Do you have a backup from before the issues started?

🧹 Solving Common Capacity Problems

1. Check error logs

Fix any errors listed in your Error Log.

2. Use an up-to-date PHP version

Always use the latest stable PHP version for better performance.

3. Analyze and optimize:

• Plugin or script

Disable all plugins, then re-enable them one by one.

• Cronjob

Temporarily disable cronjobs and check if the issue resolves.

Consider disabling WP_CRON for WordPress.

• Poorly built website

➔ Minimize the number of plugins.

➔ Implement caching (Redis, LiteSpeed Cache, Opcache).

➔ Regularly optimize the database.

• High visitor numbers

Block suspicious IP addresses via .htaccess:

order allow,deny
  deny from 123.456.789.000
  allow from all
