Project title: Optimise WordPress VPS: Nginx, PHP-FPM, Security
Posted by: External project from PeoplePerHour
Started: 13-Nov-2025 04:58 GMT
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

wp-login brute force

XML-RPC attacks

WordPress:

Confirmation of every item completed
