Learn what slows servers down — and how SavveXa helps you stay efficient
Have you ever noticed your site getting slower during traffic spikes? That’s often caused by server load — when your server is processing more tasks than it can handle comfortably.
Let’s break down what server load means, how it affects performance, and how SavveXa helps you keep it under control.
What Is Server Load?
Server load represents how busy your system’s resources are — especially CPU, RAM, and disk I/O. When load levels rise, your server starts taking longer to respond to requests.
A small amount of load is normal, but consistently high usage signals that your server might be overworked or misconfigured.
Common Causes of High Load
-
Traffic spikes — Sudden surges in visitors or bots.
-
Heavy background processes — Backups, updates, or indexing tasks running simultaneously.
-
Poorly optimized apps or plugins — Scripts consuming unnecessary CPU or memory.
-
Insufficient caching — Every request being processed from scratch.
-
Limited server specs — Not enough RAM or processing power for your workload.
