The website was experiencing an unusually high volume of AJAX and REST API requests, leading to increased server load and bandwidth usage. The client needed to identify whether conflicting WordPress plugins, frontend scripts, or server configurations were causing the excessive requests and impacting overall website performance.
We conducted a comprehensive WordPress backend performance audit by reviewing access logs, analyzing AJAX and REST API traffic, inspecting plugin behavior, and evaluating the hosting and caching configuration. We identified unnecessary requests generated by frontend scripts and plugin interactions, validated that optimization efforts had significantly reduced recurring AJAX activity, and delivered a detailed technical report with actionable recommendations to improve performance, reduce server load, and ensure long-term website stability.
