Directory is an application like theme and as soon as your site gets traction both content and traffic on your website will increase simultaneously so your website will need more server resources for better performance. If you are on a shared hosting your server resources will be shared with other websites on the same server so you will get limited resources for your website which will ultimately result in an under performing website. On the other hand if you go with a dedicated server all server resources will be available for your website and it will perform much better. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove plugins<\/strong>: Please visit plugins page in your WordPress admin and remove any and all unnecessary plugins which is not really contributing to your site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize DB:<\/strong> If your site is more than few months old, you should optimize your site database with plugins like <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/rvg-optimize-database\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RGV optimize<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/simple-optimizer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Simple optimizer<\/a> or likes that will remove unnecessary junk from your site such as spam comments, post revisions etc. which will make your site database perform better<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limit post revisions: <\/strong>Most users dont need each version of post revisions.
