Upgrading Drupal

Hello Friends,

I have a drupal website with this configuration...

1. Server(OS/Configuration)-- RHEL 7.4, 16-CPU, RAM-64GB

2. Apache Server Version-- 2.4.6

3. My SQL Version-- 5.0.12

4. Website Size-- 80GB, Total Memory of Server-3TB

5. Drupal Version-- 8.5.4

6.PHP version--7.2.10

What Do I Do About My Website Loading Slowly? 

Please share some suggestions to fix it.

I'm currently running Drupal 8.9.13, PHP 7.3, Lando 3.0.14, Docker 2.3.0.5, and Composer 1.10.1. I recognize all of these need to be upgraded as well as contrib modules (some of which require the latest Drupal/Composer/etc.). I'm looking for guidance as to what order these should be upgraded. What comes first? 
PHP 7.3 => 7.4
Drupal 8.9.13 => 9.0.X
Lando 3.0.14 => 3.0.26
Composer 1.10.1 => 2.X
Do contrib module dependencies come before or after the above?

Hi all, apologies as I’m sure this may have been dudcusded elsewhere - but I wonder if anyone knows whether; 

a/ my website will function after Nov 2022 if still not upgraded from drupal 7

b/ whether upgrading is best left to a professional web designer? 
 

Many thanks!

As mentioned in the below references i have tried upgrading the code base from Drupal 8.9.13 to 9. But still not able to complete due to some conflict with the requirements or minimum-stability.

https://www.drupal.org/docs/upgrading-drupal/upgrading-from-drupal-8-to-...

Can you some one please help on this to resolve.

Attaching my composer.json and composer.lock

I made an upgrade from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9 and to drupal 8. The upgrade worked by I can't use the fields from "image_ads" content type.

In drupal 8

I get these errors:

Is it easy to upgrade to Drupal 9 from Drupal 8?

Should Drupal 9 be installed as some kind of 'core update' in Drupal 8?

We are currently working on a site with Drupal 8 and ask ourselves if we can make a quick shift to Drupal 9.

Or should all our effort in Drupal 8 be redone for Drupal 9?
