Description: |
1. PHP & Server Configuration Fixes
Increase PHP limits (Elementor safe values):
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 256M
memory_limit = 512M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_vars = 5000
Update .user.ini or main php.ini as appropriate.
Ensure Imagick, cURL, and GD are correctly configured.
Fix PHP-FPM settings for stability:
pm.max_children = 8
pm.max_requests = 500
Optimise idle workers
Confirm OpCache is properly configured and not fragmented.
2. Install & Configure Redis Object Cache
Install Redis server and PHP Redis extension
Enable persistent object caching
Configure Redis through wp-config.php
Validate with WordPress health tools
Ensure no negative impact on PageSpeed
3. Nginx Performance Tuning
Add or update:
a) Static File Caching
location ~* \.(css|js|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|webp|svg|ico|woff2)$ {
expires 30d;
access_log off;
}
b) Compression
Enable gzip
Enable Brotli if available
c) Disable XML-RPC
location = /xmlrpc.php { return 403; }
4. Database (MariaDB) Optimisation
Enable slow query log
Tune my.cnf for WordPress
Reduce max_connections from 250 → 50
Verify table indexes & charset (utf8mb4)
Clean and optimise tables
5. WordPress-Level Server Improvements
Disable WP-Cron and replace with system cron every 5 minutes
Limit post revisions to 10
Disable file editor in wp-config.php
Ensure .htaccess and file ownerships are correct (even though site uses Nginx)
6. Security Hardening (Server + WP)
Server:
Add security headers:
X-Frame-Options
X-Content-Type-Options
Referrer-Policy
Permissions-Policy
Block sensitive files:
wp-config.php
.env
SQL, log, and backup files
Fail2Ban setup:
SSH brute force

WordPress:
