wordpress, wpadmin, webdev

Your WordPress admin is slow. Your host is probably not the problem.

The actual culprits:
- Heartbeat API fires every 15s — that's 240 server requests per hour of editing
- Post revisions accumulating since 2019
- Dashboard widgets from every plugin you've ever installed
- Autoloaded options over 1MB

Fix what you control before blaming infrastructure.
