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.
