Disk IO errors (input/output) issues are a common cause of poor performance on web hosting servers. Hard drives have speed limits, and if software tries to read or write too much data too quickly, applications and users are forced to wait.

Servers are your virtual home and, just like your real home, they can become cluttered with unwanted junk.

If a website doesn’t load properly or software crashes, there’s…
