I am trying to determine why my WP site running a Radicle theme on cloudways is running so slowly. Initially I was on 1gb of memory and it didn’t seem to bad this was just QA so I thought we could get away with that but eventually things seemed to slow down with maybe 2-3 users on it. I upped the memory to 2gb, and still not much of an improvement.
I really just need a point in the right direction to where I should start optimizing or figuring out what is causing such slow loading times.
I am happy to provide much more information, but since so many files are responding slow here I don’t know where to start. Sometimes the response is 1-3 seconds or on average it is that but I’d still like to get that down.
In production I can up memory but I think there is something wrong that it is so slow on 2gb with barely anyone using it since it has htaccess password across the whole site, so there shouldn’t be any other traffic.
What theme version are you using? You did provision the VPS on Cloudways with Trellis? What type of VPS - Ubuntu 24.0.4? Seems that Cloudways do their own VPS setups as they are managed so not sure if that is an issue but could be. Also see Trellis on Cloudways without Root access
Maybe a dumb question but how do I know what version of the theme I am on, if it’s not a package itself I just downloaded the zip, I don’t know where the original zip is, so where is the version tracked. Sorry if it’s super obvious I am tired just finished moving houses
Sage theme style.css should show version installed . But I assume that is one of the latest versions then. And if theme was composer installed the composer lock file will show it too of course. You should also have access to the Radicle repository https://github.com/roots/radicle/ .
