Hi there,
We checked why the Elementor editor takes so long to load on your site (about 16–20 seconds). Here is what we found.
What we found
– Your server takes about 1.5 seconds to process each WordPress request. A simple PHP script on the same server responds in about 35 ms, so the server itself is working fine.
– The problem is OPcache, the cache that stores compiled PHP code. It is 100% full (128 MB of 128 MB). Because of this, the cache is used for only about 62% of requests, when it should be 99% or more. So PHP keeps compiling your site’s code again, which is about 2,900 files on every request.
– When the Elementor editor loads, it sends about 10 requests to the server at the same time. Your server has 2 vCPUs, so these requests wait in a queue and each one can take up to 10 seconds.
What you need to do
Please contact Cloudways support and ask them to change these OPcache settings on your server:
opcache.memory_consumption = 512
opcache.interned_strings_buffer = 64
opcache.max_accelerated_files = 32531
You can change the cache size (opcache.memory_consumption) yourself in the Cloudways panel under Server → Settings & Packages. The other two settings are not in the panel and can only be changed by Cloudways support. It’s easiest to ask them to change all three in one ticket.
If the editor is still slow after this, we recommend upgrading your server to 4 vCPUs. That way the editor’s requests won’t have to wait in a queue.
Kind regards,
