My server is slow or crashed

Find the cause before changing anything.

  1. Open the Server doctor card. It reads your log and crash report and lists what it found in plain words, with a button to fix the common problems.
  2. The Resource usage card shows memory and CPU. If memory stays near the top, a bigger plan or fewer plugins help.
  3. For lag, the Performance tools card runs a profiler and can pre-generate the world so exploring does not lag.
  4. Still stuck? Open a support ticket and we will look at it with you.
If your server crashes, we restart it automatically and email you what the doctor found.

Still stuck? Log in and ask support, or check the service status. New here? See server plans from $0.69 a month.
