Slow website when rank math is active

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your website’s speed when Rank Math is active.

It’s important to note that installing Rank Math should not negatively affect your site’s performance. In fact, our tests have shown that websites often perform better with Rank Math installed because it replaces multiple single-use plugins, which can slow down your site.

For example, a performance comparison using GTmetrix indicated that a website without Rank Math had a slower load time compared to when Rank Math was installed:

If you’re experiencing slowness, it may be due to other plugins or server issues. We recommend checking for conflicts with other plugins or optimizing your website further. You can also refer to our WordPress speed optimization guide for additional tips.

If the problem persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Hello,

Please check the PHP values of your site by heading over to your WordPress dashboard > Tools > Site Health > Info tab > Server. If they are set too low on your site, please ask your hosting provider to upgrade the values according to the following and see if that works for you:

PHP Memory Limit: 1024M
Max input time: 150
PHP time limit: 120
PHP max input variables: 1000

If the issue persists, you can install the plugin Query Monitor on your website and look for queries related to Rank Math. This should help us determine what’s causing the issue.

You may take a screenshot of it and share it with us here using this tool.

Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
