Why Does a Hosted Website Slow Down Only During Scheduled Jobs?

A scheduled import, backup, or report can consume CPU, memory, disk I/O, or database connections and slow interactive requests during its run.

What to check

Compare job start times with resource graphs, process lists, slow queries, and web response times. Check whether jobs overlap or retry after failure, and measure their normal data volume.

Recommended next step

Schedule heavy work off-peak where suitable, add limits or batching, and monitor user-facing latency after changes. Informatix Systems can investigate hosting performance and server workload.
