How to Check Your Server Performance


This guide will show you how to properly check your server performance.

The Multicraft CPU and Memory bars are not accurate so it is recommended to find other ways to check the server performance.

In case you have a `Vanilla` server we highly suggest you change it to `Paper` to be able to run plugins and check the server performance with the steps above.

||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/changing-your-server-version-and-type-ve6dtm/) is our guide for changing your server version and type. Also, we suggest you do a backup before changing as our guide is explaining [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-make-a-backup-noz1kf/).
