How to Reduce WordPress Server Load & Spikes [Infographic]

When you are getting started, chances are you don’t want to spend a lot of money on the most expensive web hosting plan. Even so, there are still days that your server will struggle to stay up due to high load or code inefficiencies. Caching can help with some of that. With object and full page caching, you can reduce hits on your database and sever in general. In case you haven’t noticed, many webmasters use a CDN service. There are many good reasons for that, including the fact that your site will just run more smoothly anywhere.

As the above infographic shows, you can get a better performance on your site by picking a lean theme and plugin collection and offload static assets. Switching to system level cron can stop synced server spikes too.
