PHP Optimization
To enhance a website's performance by enabling optimal PHP settings:
- PHP settings are optimized for use with LiteSpeed web server using FastCGI
- Configuration includes tuning PHP memory limits, execution time, and other key performance parameters
- Settings are customized per website based on specific requirements and usage patterns
Database Server Optimization
To enhance the performance of all hosted websites by enabling optimal database server settings:
- Go to Tools & Settings > Performance Booster (under "General Settings") > the "Serverwide" tab.
- Click "Show values to be optimized", and then click Apply.
Once database server settings are optimized, you'll see improved performance for database-driven applications.
