FAQ

Linux Server Performance Troubleshooting FAQ

Common questions before investigating slow or overloaded Linux servers.

What performance issues can you investigate?

We can investigate high CPU, memory pressure, swap usage, disk I/O, slow databases, overloaded PHP-FPM or Gunicorn workers, Docker resource issues and general server slowdown.

Can you find the cause without guessing?

Yes. We review logs, process usage, service metrics, disk activity, memory behaviour and recent changes to separate symptoms from the real bottleneck.

Do you tune production servers directly?

Yes, where it is safe. We check backups, access and rollback risk before changing service limits, database settings or runtime configuration.

Can you help if the issue only happens during busy periods?

Yes. We can use logs, resource history and targeted monitoring to identify patterns around traffic spikes, cron jobs, backups or slow application requests.

How much does this work usually cost?

Linux performance troubleshooting usually starts from $599–$1,099 depending on urgency and the number of services involved.
