 These are the things you should do if your WordPress dashboard is slow.

 1. Old PHP Version – Use the Latest Version of PHP
 2. Old WordPress Version – Upgrade Your WordPress Version
 3. Admin Toolbar – Remove the WordPress Admin Toolbar
 4. Widgets – Disable Unnecessary Dashboard Widgets
 5. Slow Plugins – Use Query Monitor To Sniff Out Slow Plugins
 6. Heatbeat API – Use Heartbeat Control
 7. Full Database – Clean Out Your Database (Especially WooCommerce Stores)
 8. Optimize Database- Optimize Your Full Databse
 9. Not Caching Your Site – Use a Caching Plugin (Especially rocket)
 10. Low Memory – Increase The WordPress Memory Limit
 11. Low Ram on Server – RAM Upgrade for Web Server
