Lag usually comes down to resources or settings. This guide covers the changes that make the biggest difference on a Terraria server.
Check your usage first
Open your server page and watch the CPU and RAM graphs while players are on. If either sits near 100 percent, the simplest fix is moving up to the next plan.
Tune the server
- Use a higher plan for large worlds and many players.
- Limit world events and busy farms that spawn lots of entities.
- Keep the world backed up before big builds.
Keep it healthy
- Schedule a daily restart to clear memory.
- Remove mods you do not use.
- Keep the game and add-ons updated.
