Performance &amp; Resources \u26a1<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1076\">The first thing to consider is the <strong data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"986\">server resources<\/strong>, including CPU, RAM, and storage. These directly affect how well your website performs.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1222\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1npvykj\" data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1114\"><strong data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1087\">CPU<\/strong> handles processing power<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"gkpgw7\" data-start=\"1115\" data-end=\"1169\"><strong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1124\">RAM<\/strong> supports multitasking and traffic handling<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"hbc7mg\" data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1222\"><strong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1194\">Storage (SSD\/NVMe)<\/strong> affects data access speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1427\">For example, a small business website may only need 2\u20134GB RAM, while an eCommerce site or application may require 8GB or more.
