Running a FiveM server in 2025 means more than just launching your favorite scripts — it’s about delivering a smooth, lag-free experience your players can rely on. Whether you’re hosting a roleplay server, freeroam, or racing community, performance is everything. At Revive Hosting, we specialize in high-performance FiveM server hosting with blazing-fast hardware and powerful optimizations, but we also believe in empowering server owners to take things a step further.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to speed up your FiveM server using proven methods — all easy to apply, even if you’re just getting started.
1. Clean and Optimize Your Scripts
Heavy, poorly coded scripts are the #1 reason for lag and slow performance.
Here’s how to handle them:
- Use resmon 1 in your FiveM console to track which resources use the most CPU.
- Remove or rewrite scripts that constantly spike usage.
- Reduce tick rates and optimize loops for better efficiency.
Revive Tip: Our easy access control lets your devs safely optimize scripts without exposing your core server files.
2. Upgrade to Better Hosting Hardware
No matter how clean your scripts are, old or underpowered hardware will bottleneck performance. If your server struggles under high traffic, it might be time to scale up.
At Revive Hosting, all our FiveM plans include:
- AMD Ryzen CPUs for peak processing power
- NVMe SSDs for fast data access
- Unlimited bandwidth to handle traffic spikes
Whether you’re running a small RP server or a massive custom city, we’ve got the right server for you — and we also host RedM, Palworld, Minecraft, and Game VPS hosting for total flexibility.
3. Optimize Your SQL Database
Slow queries = slow performance. Your server’s database plays a critical role in loading user data, inventory, logs, and more.
Best practices:
- Use indexes on large tables.
- Clean up inactive user data.
- Use asynchronous SQL calls instead of blocking queries.
All Revive Hosting servers run on NVMe SSDs, ensuring lightning-fast database responses.
4. Tune Your Server Configurations
Configuration tweaks can lead to major gains without touching code.
Key config tips:
- Enable onesync_enabled 1 for smoother entity streaming.
- Lower fx_rateLimiter for better tick timing.
- Adjust object and ped streaming distances to reduce load.
With Revive Hosting’s control panel, you can make these changes in just a few clicks — no guesswork needed.
5. Compress Assets and Remove Unused Resources
Big textures and unused cars/models can crash your server or slow load times.
To fix this:
- Compress high-resolution textures
- Remove duplicate vehicle packs and sounds
- Host downloads externally using a CDN if possible
Revive Bonus: Our unmetered bandwidth makes serving large assets a breeze.
6. Use Server-Side Performance Enhancements
Behind the scenes, efficient handling of events, caching, and AI logic can dramatically reduce CPU usage.
Try these techniques:
- Throttle high-frequency events (like vehicle or AI spawns)
- Use server-side caching for frequently accessed files
- Spread out heavy tasks over time
Revive Hosting’s high-frequency CPUs ensure your scripts run faster and smoother, even during peak times.
7. Monitor and Maintain Regularly
Don’t “set it and forget it.” Server health checks are key.
Helpful tools:
- resmon 1 for live monitoring
- Review your logs for repeated errors
- Set alerts for memory leaks or spikes
Revive Hosting includes built-in DDoS protection and 24/7 technical support, so you’re never alone when issues arise.
