What are common causes for 'freezing" of windows phone 8? How can a user rectify or avoid the freezing?

Are there weblinks on common causes of freezing? And are there programs that can eliminate this?

The phone in question is Nokia Lumia 720.

Firstly,update your phone to latest version and uninstall apps which struggle to run smoothly.since,your phone has only 512 MB RAM,many apps nowadays require more than this to run smoothly.Basically,if you restart your phone,then it fixes freezing problem(~temporarily). If you encounter frequent freezing,then uninstall offending apps(badly coded ones) and try soft reset.If still no resolution,then perform hard reset.
