Question Help reading timings report

[xxslayer1555xx]

I'm fairly new to the Paper world, and still dont know what half of this means. My server gets lag spike every now and then. But recently its been locking up. tons of red text (ill get a photo next time) basically says its not a crash even tho a second later all plugins disable and the server is locked. reading around i saw people asking for timings reports so i ran this for a while. Can anyone help me in anyway? even just with more knowledge of this stuff

Hello,
for users, who didn't understand timings i recommend using a bot called birdflop https://top.gg/de/bot/787929894616825867 . This bot reads the timings to create a better report.

Output from the bot for your timings:

Timings Analysis
These are not magic values. Many of these settings have real consequences on your server's mechanics. See this guide for detailed information on the functionality of each setting.

Alternatively, you can read over this post and actually understand what you are changing… next time, you can come into PaperMC discord for additional and often time faster help (ping me if you needed).

I am personally not a fan of changing stuff that's not broken or not having issues and that’s why automatic troubleshooting with pre-determined Config is strongly not recommended. (Take for example, 99.99% of server will not have issue with armor stand and disable it will leave your player confused as why their armor stand now no longer flows with water or just outright stuck mid-air.
