I will fix slow sql server queries and performance issues
SQL Server Performance Tuning Expert, Slow Queries, CPU, Blocking and Deadlocks
About this Gig
Is your SQL Server slow, consuming high CPU, or causing application timeouts?
I investigate SQL Server performance problems using evidence from execution plans, Query Store, waits, CPU, I/O, indexing, statistics, and workload behavior. The goal is to identify the likely root cause before making changes.
I can investigate:
- Slow queries and stored procedures
- High CPU or I/O
- Poor or changed execution plans
- Blocking and deadlocks
- Index and statistics issues
- Query Store performance regressions
My approach:
- Understand the symptoms and workload
- Analyze performance data and execution plans
- Identify the likely root cause
- Recommend or implement appropriate changes
- Validate results where before/after data is available
I do not assume every slow query needs an index. The right fix depends on the workload and actual bottleneck.

FAQ
Can you troubleshoot a slow SQL Server database?
Yes. I can investigate slow queries, high CPU, I/O pressure, blocking, deadlocks, execution plan issues, indexing, statistics, and other performance bottlenecks within the agreed scope.
Do I need to provide remote access?
No. Remote access is not required for many investigations. Query text, execution plans, Query Store data, and other performance information may be enough to identify the likely cause.
Can you analyze an execution plan?
Yes. I can review execution plans for inefficient operators, cardinality issues, excessive reads, scans, joins, memory grants, and other signs of performance problems.
Can you analyze Query Store?
Yes. Query Store can provide historical query, plan, runtime, and, where available, wait information that can help identify performance regressions and workload patterns.
Can you guarantee a specific performance improvement?
No. Performance depends on the actual workload, data, schema, hardware, configuration, and root cause. I focus on evidence-based diagnosis and appropriate tuning rather than promising an arbitrary percentage improvement.
