How to Optimize Database Performance in Plesk

Steps:

1. Log in to Plesk Panel
   
   
• Open your Plesk panel and log in with your username and password.
  
  
  
2. Access Databases Section
   
   
• Navigate to Websites & Domains → Databases.
  
  
  
3. Select Your Database
   
   
• Click on the database you want to optimize.
  
  
  
4. Enable Query Caching
   
   
• For MySQL/MariaDB, enable Query Cache in the database settings.
  
  
• This reduces response time for repeated queries.
  
  
  
5. Optimize Tables
   
   
• Go to your database → Tables → Check & Optimize.

• Identify slow queries and optimize them.
  
  
  
7. Regular Backups
   
   
• Make regular backups before performing major changes for safety.
