How to Identify Whether High Website Latency Comes From the Database

Slow pages can reflect database waits, application processing, external calls, or network delay, and averages can hide the cause.

Checks to make

Compare request timing by stage and route, inspect slow queries and connection waits, and correlate with CPU, memory, cache, and dependency metrics. Use a trace from a slow request and a normal one to isolate the stage before tuning.
