How to Speed Up Your WordPress Admin Panel (Without a Plugin)
Tired of slow dashboard loading? Here are three quick tweaks that can cut load time by half.
A slow admin panel is frustrating. It wastes time and makes you dread logging in. The good news: you don't always need another plugin to fix it.
First, check your site's health by going to Tools > Site Health. If you see a critical issue, address it. Often, a plugin conflict is the culprit. Deactivate all plugins, then reactivate them one by one to find the offender.
Second, limit revisions. WordPress saves every change you make, which can bloat your database. Add define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5); to your wp-config.php to keep only the latest five revisions per post.
Third, use a caching plugin that also optimizes the admin area. Some cache plugins offer an admin-specific speed boost. Test a few to see which one works best for your setup.
