I am helping a customer with a website( uses WordPress ) that is very slow to load and sometimes times out or does not respond.
I notice they have 692,264 jpgs in /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ .
Is this too many ? Maybe that many jpgs is overloading WordPress.?
[root@vps ~]# ls -lh /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ |grep jpg |wc
289628 2696652 22644222
[root@vps ~]# ls -lh /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/ |grep jpg |wc
289607 2696463 23109003
[root@vps ~]# ls -lh /home/xxxxx/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ |grep jpg |wc
113017 1017153 8535518
Total 289628 + 289617 +113019 =` 692,264
Total disk space for website is 17 GB
[root@vps ~]# du -d 1 -h /home/xxxx/public_html/ |grep G
17G /home/xxxx/public_html/wp-content
Is the website just too big , with too many files ?
