(Quote) Fair & valid - though, you'd have to keep in mind introducing new/other plugins no longer makes it apples to apples. What are the other plugins doing/serving? You'd typically want to slim it down to the point where the sole di…
-
Lots of interesting discussion - just a few questions I thought I'd answer: (Quote) Yes - Cloudlinux, CageFS/LVE, is based on technology already built into the kernel (obviously, modified further at a kernel level, but same concept). You'…
-
We've actually had sites go down because of this. Not "My facebook image won't load" down, but completely timeout. Ahhh...WordPress...
-
(Quote) Why is that? That is effectively what these backup plugins do, except you have less work.
-
(Quote) They're 0.005/GB, basically a non issue unless you are pushing tens of TB.
-
I'd recommend taking a look at GPC from Genesis Hosting: https://genesishosting.com/genesis_public_cloud.html Resources on demand, so you can terminate instances as needed once encoding is done and save quite a bit on already-affordable prices…
-
Can anybody really look me in the eye and say this caught them off guard? It's long due
-
(Quote) IMHO, since you gloss over the idea if "threads" anyways ("hands") it makes sense to just use that and talk about provisioning users to threads. (eg, "# of jobs assigned to a worker")
-
(Quote) I love the analogies for the components - that is really awesome! One suggestion: (Quote) A vCPU is pretty much universally accepted as a (1) logical processor. You can pin/provision 4 (or 8, or 12, or whatever) users to a vCPU, the actual…

Shared license = pirated/nulled license. Stay away.
-
GCore is nice pricing/PoP wise and also has some great features, but routing was wacky last time I tried them ~5 months ago. They use gDNS instead of anycast.
-
(Quote) Different use cases primarily, with some overlap. CF is images only for now, B2 is object storage, and honestly, primarily archival storage, as bandwidth is typically lackluster. (Quote) I mean, you can if you want, though I'm not sure…
-
I'm a fan of WPVivid Backup and Restore. Works great for Backup and Migration
-
(Quote) Which, is really part of the issue at hand. It AMP was a standard built for general site optimization, awesome. But it's either-or. AMP is a completely separate version of your site that you now have to maintain. So, why not optimize it…
-
As far as caching goes, .htaccess vs Litespeed is usually ms's, so nothing that actually makes a difference for most sites. Concurrency is another story, but you aren't going to put a site getting 3000 rps on a $5 shared hosting plan
-
(Quote) Frankly, never done any in-depth testing there. IIRC, CF SPC has a server-cache function, so actually, I'd just use that.
-
(Quote) We did a benchmark of all the popular free caching plugins: https://blog.cynderhost.com/we-tested-9-wordpress-caching-plugins-heres-what-we-found/ - tl:dr; Any plugin using .htaccess to serve cached files will come out very close. So, Swift…
-
(Quote) I don't disagree. Obviously, lighter and faster websites are great for everyone. My issue is with the AMP standard itself. It's really was an almost-entirely-Google project, for who know what reason. Requiring special HTML markup,…
-
I typically recommend against AMP. It's an annoying and frankly stupid concept
-
We use StackPath: stackpath.com It works, and it works well, so that's all I can really ask. Frankly, there's not a while lot of CDNs that tick all the boxes. Fastly still charged $5/domain for SSL.
-
(Quote) It depends. Most don't ever use anywhere near those resources, so even with what people 'perceive' to be less resources (X GB, X% total vs Y RAM/CPU x Z accounts) - most people may not actually see an impact. If anything, they…
-
(Quote) Not really - for millions, I wouldn't really be comfortable with just 8 GB/5 5C usually. Maybe couple hundred thousand, but there's bound to be contention since it's shared and wouldn't be profitable otherwise. (Quote) I…
-
(Quote) Nice catch! (Quote) Yeah. Fortunately though, WP only passes a string in the the_content hook, so it won't be an issue.
-
(Quote) The issue is in PHP 8.0, usage became more strict compared to 7.4. So, technically "improper" assignment like what you were doing throws a warning now. You can ignore it or just suppress it if it bothers you. As for your code: fu…
-
Headless WordPress is de-coupling the backend/frontend. Backend runs on WordPress, via API, and frontend can be something else, ie, Gatsby.JS. That allows you to use WP Admin to publish/manage content but also gives you more flexibility to design yo…
-
Hey ya'll - we've been working on something fun recently and would love to get everyone's feedback. Unused CSS is something we get quite a few complaints about, so we've developed a tool to strip all of it and compile a single o…
-
(Quote) It's likely not a slickstack config option. It's a kernel parameter you can tune via editing /etc/sysctl.conf / /etc/sysctl.d/.conf / sysctl -w "vm.swapiness=0-100" (Quote) > Correlation != causation, especially with…
-
(Quote) vm.swapiness is what you want to take a look at. Swap, contrary to public belief, isn't just used for when RAM runs out. There are a variety of things that determine memory pressure, and things like page-size play a role too. (Quote) A…
-
(Quote) I disagree - the direction they're taking is very different. cPanel is and always has been geared towards large, shared hosting companies with many accounts on one server, which is probably one of the reasons for the price change. Ples…
-
Onyx is also EOL, so there's that. (Quote) The panel, or sites hosted on it? For the most part I've seen neither be the case. (Quote) There are some kinks, but their import tool works great for the most part
-
Thanks for sharing this - I think it's an interesting benchmark, though I'd personally love to see actual site-render/load comparisons. The total time seems far too reliant on MySQL numbers - which usually isn't even the heavy part o…
-
(Quote) 1. This is probably the issue. A list of plugins would help - it also depends on what you consider "slow" - 500 msec? 3 seconds? 10 seconds? Some "sluggishness" is expected with more plugins 2. Optimized images don't…

RIPE Atlas gives you access to a global network of probes with quite a few LATAM locations
-
New Relic is pretty simple and nice - if you disabled the non-needed items, you should be able to cover basic resource + network monitoring under their free tier.
-
It's not like Yoast was anything but a bunch of bloat in the first place anyways.
-
(Quote) Yeah. It's built in the kernel and pretty frequently used I'd imagine. Just need to be aware that some things need an exclusion (ie, polkitd/nagios/zabbix)
-
(Quote) Have you considered mounting /proc with hidepid?
-
(Quote) Interesting...thanks for sharing - if you don't mind elaborating, what issues did you hit with them?
-
Thank you for everyone's replies! I think we're going to > @chimichurri said: (Quote) Yeah, you're right. I was looking at the wrong section for transfer. (Quote) That's a top contender right now. They've got the E4…
-
(Quote) I appreciate the response! But, that's probably a bit far from what I'm looking for. I know the above experience would be far from the only one about network outages/storage failures, though I wouldn't expect much more given …
-
(Quote) I see! Yeah, that (performance, network, storage) was pretty much our experience too with the couple hundred dollars in credit they were kind enough to give us for some in-depth evaluation. We didn't get a chance to evaluate their relia…
-
(Quote) So I've heard...Assuming no issues on their side, support (or lack of thereof) shouldn't be an issue, though I'd probably rather pay $10-20 more for someone to speak to if something does happen.
-
(Quote) Thanks! Their pricing is unbeatable for what they offer (as a semi-big provider). Do you happen to know what their storage is backed by? I recall reading ceph somewhere, but that could just be their object storage.
-
(Quote) Thanks! That's on my short list too - we actually had a long chat with them when looking for a primary provider, though that dropped out. Have you had any experiences with them?
