Lag usually comes down to resources or settings. This guide covers the changes that make the biggest difference on a Valheim 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
- Keep the number of built structures and portals reasonable, they add load.
- A larger plan helps once several players explore at once.
- Update mods after each game update to avoid crashes.
Keep it healthy
- Schedule a daily restart to clear memory.
- Remove mods you do not use.
- Keep the game and add-ons updated.
