Optimize your Plex database.  
[https://support.plex.tv/articles/200392106-library-actions/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200392106-library-actions/)

If that doesn’t help, check your server databsae for corruption, like this:

1. [activate debug](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/ "activate debug") logging ( **not** ‘verbose’!)
2. quit Plex Server
3. wait 1 minute
4. start Plex Server
5. wait 5 minutes
6. [fetch log files](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200250417 "fetch log files") and [attach them here](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/202756326-How-do-I-attach-files-in-the-forums- "attach them here")

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the `Plex Media Server.log` file and seek for messages about database `corrupt` or `malformed`.  
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
