Making WordPress faster

In SSH, as root, run:

Code: Select all

apt update && apt -y install memcached php-memcached php-memcache

Then install W3TC plugin in WordPress.
Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/myves ... /W3TC.json as file to your computer.
Import that file in W3TC settings.

Cheers for that.

With various metrix sites throwing a little fit if browser cacheing isn't enabled, what are your thoughts on there maybe being a checkbox option with an input field for the cache expiry value, on NGINX basic options page to add it to (or remove it from) the server section of the conf?

If you think on this:

Code: Select all

    # File cache settings
    open_file_cache          max=10000 inactive=30s;
    open_file_cache_valid    60s;
    open_file_cache_min_uses 2;
    open_file_cache_errors   off;

to be honest, I never played with that, so I would leave these default values.

I believe those settings are to do with the file cache on the server? I'm meaning something like this to go into the "server" config section of the NGINX conf to set browser cache expiry:

Code: Select all

    location ~* \.(txt|xml|js|css|flv|ico|pdf|avi|mov|ppt|doc|mp3|wmv|wav|mp4|m4v|ogg|webm|aac|eot|ttf|otf|woff|svg|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf|webp)$ {
        expires 8d;
    }

The period is arbitrary and could be set by the user via an input. Easy enough to manually add, but a fairly common thing to enable browser cacheing these days.

but it's already 'max' - https://github.com/myvesta/vesta/blob/m ... g.stpl#L15

Code: Select all

expires        max;

max
This is the opposite of the “epoch” value. The Expires header will be equal to “31 December 2037 23:59:59 GMT”, and the Cache-Control max-age set to 10 years. This basically means that the HTTP responses are guaranteed to never change, so clients are free to never request the same thing twice and may use their own stored values.

So it is!

Do you recommend this improvement, on woocommerce sites?

Hello

I have similar issue. VPS with 16 CPU cores and 16G RAM, hardware utilized in 10%. Apache+Nginx+Mysql+PHP-FPM7.4+CloudFlare and TTFB for WP website (good theme, some plugins, nothing special) 1,5-2sec :/ It is for the first load in the browser, then it is much faster...

Played with some options, but no luck so far. Any tips welcome
