Migration is the process of transferring all of your website’s files to the servers of your new hosting provider. When preparing for this process, remember that your account with the service provider you intend to transfer from must be active.
Customers who decide to change service providers often do so precisely because of the slow website.
Why is the site slow?
The reason for this is usually complex and there is no one simple answer. It is possible that:
- The website on which your website is located is too loaded.
- Your code is poorly optimized and with a larger number of visitors, it generates a very high load and slows down the server a lot, and thus also the website.
- The database used by the website is not optimal (e.g. there are no sufficiently complex indexes). Searching such a database puts a lot of strain on the entire server.
- Crawlers that crawl your website generate a lot of load on the server.
- Your website is too extensive and “weighs” a lot. Take a look at what exactly is on your website (e.g. how many videos and photos it contains, what their formats are and how much space they take up). The rule is simple: the less, the faster your website will load.
- You don’t cache page elements, queries, or sessions. Caching doesn’t work miracles, but it does allow you to relieve the server so that the website loads faster.
These are just some of the problems that can be the cause of slow operation of the website. If you have technical knowledge, you are definitely able to improve the loading time of your website. However, if you are not an expert, then finding the problem will be more difficult.

Our Flexible Web Hosting offers many solutions for free that can improve the speed of your website. These are:
- Lite Speed server, which allows you to increase the performance of page loading compared to the Apache server,
