Resources

Adjust the CPU/RAM preset for the WordPress and MySQL containers, or delete a site, from the console.

Scale a site by changing its resource preset from the Resources tab — the change applies to both the WordPress and MySQL containers together, the same way App Platform resizes a project. When you're done with a site, delete it to release all of its resources.

Change the resource preset

A resource preset sets the CPU and RAM allocated to the site. Updating it re-sizes both the WordPress and MySQL containers together, in one action.

1. 1
   Open the Resources tab

   From your site's page, open Resources to see the current preset.
2. 2
   Pick a new preset

   Choose the tier you want from the dropdown.
3. 3
   Confirm

   Click Update. Both containers resize together — no separate step for the database.

What the preset actually affects

Because WordPress and MySQL share the CPU and RAM of a single preset, both sides feel a low tier the same way: PHP has less headroom to render pages for WordPress, and MySQL has less memory to work with for queries — the two most common causes of a WordPress site feeling slow. In practice:

• Concurrent visitors — a small preset serves pages fine one at a time, but response times climb once multiple visitors hit the site at once, since WordPress and MySQL are contending for the same limited CPU.
• Plugins and themes — every active plugin adds to what PHP has to execute per page load; a plugin-heavy site benefits from a higher tier even at modest traffic.
• Media and content size — a larger MySQL working set (more posts, pages, or product data) benefits from the extra RAM a higher preset gives the database to keep queries fast.
• Sizing up — if a site is slow under normal traffic, pages time out, or admin/editor actions feel sluggish, that's the signal to move to a higher preset rather than tune WordPress itself — there's no separate database tier to adjust.

Delete a site

From the Resources tab, click Delete Site. This tears down the WordPress and MySQL containers and removes all associated resources. This is irreversible.
