I started runing a node few days back and it was synchronising fast with an internet speed of approximately 20mbps. But today the internet is better so I was expecting it to be faster considering I’m having about 90mbps as the internet speed but the verification progress per hour is dropping as compared to when I was having lesser internet speed Wch is making the progress slow. what could be the problem?

That's normal: as chainstate grows, syncing becomes more demanding on your hardware. Get enough RAM (16 GB is the minimum for a smooth sync) and set dbcache to a high enough value (but not all your RAM).

If you can't check the GUI Options or Google this, you should probably not be running Bitcoin Core.

If you're comparing it with the earliest blocks when you just started syncing, that's because the majority of those are nearly empty blocks.

And heads-up, once its nearing the tip of the blockchain, it'll even get slower as your node starts to verify all of the scripts in the block that's skipped in the older block heights.
Currently, it's after block height 912683 (ref: /v30.2/src/kernel/chainparams.cpp#L122)

I’ve actually set it to 3000 it’s was 450 thank you.
Have you considered this setting based from your free memory?
Because an improperly set value of this could even worsen your disk's performance if it makes your machine to use "swap memory".

I love this reply. So often people want to be bottle-fed and it astounds me. We live in a world now where you dont even have to look through the documentation to find an answer. AI is at everyone's fingertips (literal spoonfeeding) and yet still, people want to be bottle-fed.

May be you should be careful with the use of AI in finding solutions to technical issues, you think I don’t know there  was AI before I asked the question here ? AI could even cause you more problems because he might not understand what you’re saying since it has no experience in running a node. But a lot of people here have that Thats to tell you that I believe  more of the people guide here more that the AI. Most time AI could just gather garbage  and give to you that why i Always ask anything that has to do with technical here and I believe that was the essence of this forum.
