Prompt library · Performance
Why is my shop slow?
A prompt for Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor with AskYourStack connected to your server.
Best for
Slow pages, timeouts or a server that is always busy.
What you get
The real cause (cache, database, PHP, bots, disk) with numbers, and the fixes in order of impact.
The prompt
Using AskYourStack, find out why my site is slow. Follow the performance playbook (get_playbook). Measure first: response times for the home page, a category and a product page, load and memory, PHP-FPM and database settings, slow query log, cache status (full page cache, Redis/Valkey, OPcache), and bots in the access log.
Tell me the real causes with numbers, then the fixes in order of impact. Change nothing until I agree.
How to use it
- Connect your server to AskYourStack with the one-line install, and add your AskYourStack MCP address to your AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code).
- Paste the prompt and fill in the parts in angle brackets.
- Your AI looks at the server first, explains its plan, and asks for your approval before anything destructive. How approvals work.
