About This Service
A slow database is often the root cause of a slow website — especially for WordPress, WooCommerce, and custom web apps that make dozens of database queries per page load. At WebCraftera LLP, we diagnose database performance issues using slow query logs, EXPLAIN analysis, and query profiling tools, then implement targeted optimisations that dramatically reduce page generation time.
Our optimisations include adding missing indexes on frequently queried columns, rewriting inefficient N+1 queries, configuring MySQL or PostgreSQL query cache, implementing Redis or Memcached as an object cache layer, cleaning up database bloat (post revisions, transients, log tables), and optimising database server configuration (buffer pool, connections, innodb settings).
