How to fix hitch warnings

There are multiple solutions you may try out, it really depends case-by-case.

1 – Check your server hardware

First and foremost, assess the hardware powering your server. A robust CPU and sufficient RAM are essential for optimal performance. Use your task manager to gauge CPU utilization and available RAM. Ensure that your CPU model is compatible with FiveM’s requirements and possesses ample processing power to handle the server load efficiently.

2 – Check scripts with server profile

Harness the power of server profiling through tools like txAdmin. By executing commands such as “profiler record 500” followed by “profiler save xyz” and “profiler view xyz,” you can generate insightful reports pinpointing resource-intensive scripts. These reports offer a granular view of script execution times, enabling you to identify and address bottlenecks effectively.

profiler record 500 (then wait till its finished)
profiler save xyz (this will save a file)’
profiler view xyz

You will receive a link where you can check your resources ms time and see what script is exactly taking a long time to load. Open this link with Google Chrome.

3 – Disable/delete unoptimized scripts

Optimize or Remove Problematic Scripts: Once you’ve identified the culprit scripts through profiling, it’s time to take action. If a script is dragging down server performance, consider optimizing it to reduce load times. Alternatively, if optimization proves challenging or impractical, disable or remove the script altogether. This can be accomplished through modifications to your server configuration files or by deleting the respective script folders.

Just disable it via server.cfg or delete the folder. Or both.
