# Performance issues

In case of performance issues, you may try the following:

* Review the [Server host requirements](/sonarqube-community-build/server-installation/server-host-requirements.md) for SonarQube Community Build linked to Elasticsearch usage.
* Move the Elasticsearch storage to a storage with high IOPS and low latency, see [Basic installation](/sonarqube-community-build/server-installation/from-zip-file/basic-installation.md#configure-es-storage-path) for more information.
* Set the [Housekeeping](/sonarqube-community-build/instance-administration/system-functions/housekeeping.md) with a reduced retention time, to limit the database size.
* Configure the analysis scope to reduce the number of files analyzed, leading to shorter analysis and smaller database footprint. See [Setting analysis scope](/sonarqube-community-build/project-administration/adjusting-analysis/setting-analysis-scope.md) for more information.
* If performance issues occur after a PostgreSQL database update, try reindexing the following database tables: issues, rules, and components.
