How to Speed Up VPS Performance on Linux & Windows

A slow virtual server can be annoying in a world where speed comes first. The slowness of the VPS can have various reasons, and there are various solutions to increase the speed of the virtual server.

We are always looking to buy the phone, system, car, etc., that we know has a higher speed. Even when we launch a site, we want our site to be the fastest.

We have already taught you how to increase site speed in the article What is ETAGs, and how does it work? And What is Leverage Browser Caching? But in this article, we want to examine how to increase the speed of the virtual server. Because increasing the speed of the virtual server also increases the speed of the site. So don’t miss this article and stay with us.

Increasing the speed of the virtual server

In this section, we want to describe methods that allow you to increase your work speed with a Remote Desktop. To answer the question of why the speed of the virtual server decreases, and there is a delay in sending user commands, we must say that the first reason involved in this issue is the distance between the user and the server.

The second reason is low-quality internet users use to connect to the VPS.

The third reason is that there is no graphics card in the virtual server,s and it is the central processor that processes all the graphic data of the virtual servers. For this purpose, you can use higher speed and better quality internet.

Open fewer tabs in the virtual server so that the amount of graphic data processing is reduced and the work speed does not decrease. Remove graphs and graphic data that are constantly changing,g, and you don’t need them from web pages.

Try using virtual servers with powerful processors and hardware so that the central processor can easily render graphic data,r and the lack of a graphics card is not noticeable.

Factors that are effective in increasing the speed of the virtual server

Keep in mind the things we describe in this section so that you can easily increase the speed of your VPS.

Optimize your web server settings

The main thing that the web server does is manage the server, which aims to increase its security and optimize it. Optimizing your web server is the first step to increasing the speed of your virtual server.

Your web server can be Apache or Nginx. If you have no information about web servers, you can read the article on what is a web server and how it works on our site.

If you are using the Apache web server, you can use the main functions and operations of Apache and disable the ones you don’t need; With this, you can easily see its effect on increasing the speed of your virtual server.

Upgrade the core

The central core or kernel is another step to increase the speed of the virtual server. If your kernel version is old (version 2.4 or older), upgrade it. Upgrading the kernel is not difficult; you can do this from the kernel site.

Choosing the right module (MPM): One factor that can affect your virtual server’s performance is the right choice of MPM. To find out what MPM your Apache web server uses, use the httpd-7 command.

After that, you can change your module to one of the worker-event-prefork values. One thing to remember is that the type of MPM you have depends on your activity.

Update MySQL

Just update MYSQL and experience the high speed of the virtual server. If the program you are using is an old version of this program, update it. This is because some platforms do not support old versions, and the loading speed is low. Therefore, one of the methods that can help you increase the speed of the virtual server is to update MYSQL.

Server distance

When your server is far from you, it is natural that its speed is slow; Sometimes, despite providing a virtual server with the best hardware (processor and RAM), the speed of the virtual server is low due to the long distance. Therefore, if you want to increase your work speed with the server, you can buy servers from closer locations.

Find the slowdown problem.

In many cases, the cause of server slowness is related to the programs related to the VPS, which disrupts the server. Our advice is to check the performance of the programs once in a while so that you can fix the problems that have arisen. The existence of hardware problems can be one factor that aggravates the problems of slowing down the virtual server.

Try to check problems such as lack of server space, problems related to bandwidth, etc., because a problem in this field can cause a lot of damage.

Adjust Windows speed-up settings as follows

To increase its speed from the virtual server itself, enter the remote desktop connection page, find the show options option, and click on it. After that, in the Display tab, change the Display configuration section to the lowest possible amount.

After completing these steps, select the low-speed broadband (256kbps – 2Mbps) option in the Experience tab, remove all active ticks and click on the Connect option.

With this, you turn off graphics and some animations which have nothing to do with the server.

Buy a high-speed virtual server!

Keep in mind that the server you buy is high-speed and high-quality. The data center from which your hosting company provides the virtual server is very important. Another factor is the hardware of your virtual server.
