Bored people could try to guess for a while (ie: "load the texture only once, not every frame") or you could provide us with more information: source code and clear description of the problem (how much is "low"?).

We don't even know what your background is - a single image, tilemap, vector art, solid colour...

I already tried everything
I feel it necessary that I should point out that your statement is factually inaccurate.

Heres my game background see the picture below,

heres the code:

int main()
{
     sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(500,500),"SFML TEST");
     
    sf::Texture texture;
texture.loadFromFile("images.png");

sf::Sprite sprite(texture;

while(window.isOpen())
{

//events
     sprite.move(-1,0);
    window.clear();
   window.draw(sprite);
   window.display();
}

}

Please use code tags i.e. [code=cpp] (code goes here) [/code]

In your code, the sprite you are displaying is moving one pixel to the left each frame/cycle. What problems are you having?

Note that frame times are inconsistent so it would be better to move by an amount multiplied by the amount of time passed.
Add before the main loop:
const float scrollSpeed = 100.f; // pixels per second
sf::Clock clock;

Then, change the move(-1, 0) to:
const float frameTime = clock.restart().asSeconds();
move(-scrollSpeed * frameTime, 0);

Then, let us know if that fixes the problem or you are still having troubles and let us know what those problems are.
