Above diagram illustrates the actual configuration of a WordPress server running on Oracle Linux 8. You can see the complete flow from client requests to database processing and the interactions between each component.

Performance Optimization Metrics by System Component

Our system consists of the following configuration:

Base Environment:

  • Operating System: Oracle Linux 8
  • Web Server: Apache (httpd)
  • PHP Version: 8.2.25
  • MySQL Version: MySQL Enterprise – Cloud v9.1.1
  • WordPress Version: 6.7.1

Hardware Resources:

  • Total Physical Memory (RAM): 11GB
  • Currently Used Memory: 1GB
  • Buffer/Cache Memory Usage: 7GB
  • Available Memory: 9GB
  • Swap Memory: 7GB (unused)

This configuration indicates:

  • Memory usage has room for performance improvements
  • Substantial memory allocation to buffer/cache optimizes I/O performance
  • No swap memory usage indicates no memory shortage-related performance issues

Analysis of Settings Affecting WordPress Server Optimization

Current PHP and WordPress Settings:

  • PHP Memory Limit: 256M
  • WordPress Memory Limit: 40M
  • WordPress Maximum Memory Limit: 256M
  • PHP Maximum Input Variables: 1000
  • PHP Maximum POST Size: 64M

Key Issues Identified from Current Settings Review:

  • Memory Configuration Imbalance:
    • WordPress memory limit is disproportionately low compared to PHP memory limit
    • System Memory: 11GB
    • WordPress Memory Limit: 40M (utilizing less than 1% of available system resources)
  • PHP and WordPress Memory Setting Mismatch:
    • PHP Memory Limit: 256M
    • WordPress Memory Limit: 40M This discrepancy means WordPress is self-limiting despite PHP processes having access to more memory.

PHP Configuration Limitations

Several critical limitations have been identified in the current PHP configuration:

  1. Restricted Input Variables:
    • Current setting: max_input_vars = 1000
    • This can be a severe limitation when using page builders like Elementor
    • May cause issues when processing complex pages or forms
  2. Limited POST Size:
    • Current setting: post_max_size = 64M
    • Can cause problems when uploading large media files or saving complex pages

Server Configuration for WordPress Performance Tuning

Server optimization is like conducting an orchestra – various components must work in harmony, and changes to one part can affect others.

Configuration File Backup

The first step is backing up your current configuration. Use the following script to backup all critical settings:

backup_configs.sh
#!/bin/bash
# backup_configs.sh

# Create backup directory
BACKUP_DIR="$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
BACKUP_DIR="/root/config_backups/${BACKUP_DIR}"
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR

# Backup Apache configuration
cp -r /etc/httpd $BACKUP_DIR/
echo "Apache configuration backup completed"

# Backup PHP configuration
cp /etc/php.ini $BACKUP_DIR/
cp -r /etc/php.d $BACKUP_DIR/
cp -r /etc/php-fpm.d $BACKUP_DIR/
echo "PHP configuration backup completed"

# Backup WordPress configuration
cp /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php $BACKUP_DIR/
echo "WordPress configuration backup completed"
  

Apache Web Server Performance Tuning

Apache serves as your website’s gateway, and its optimization significantly impacts overall performance.

1. MPM Module Selection and Configuration

Oracle Linux 8 provides two MPM options. Here’s the recommended Event MPM configuration:

/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf
# /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf

# Event MPM (recommended)
<IfModule mpm_event_module>
  StartServers 3
  MinSpareThreads 25
  MaxSpareThreads 75
  ThreadLimit 64
  ThreadsPerChild 25
  MaxRequestWorkers 400
  MaxConnectionsPerChild 0
</IfModule>
  

Each setting’s purpose and impact:

  • StartServers: Initial number of server processes (adjust based on server memory)
  • ThreadsPerChild: Number of threads per process (consider CPU core count)
  • MaxRequestWorkers: Maximum simultaneous request capacity (relates to memory usage)

2. WordPress Virtual Host Configuration

/etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf
# /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName yourdomain.com
  ServerAlias www.yourdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress

  # Logging configuration
  LogLevel warn
  ErrorLog logs/yourdomain.com-error.log
  CustomLog logs/yourdomain.com-access.log combined

  # HTTPS redirect

    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

    # Performance Optimization
    EnableSendfile On
    FileETag None
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
  

PHP-FPM Optimization for WordPress Performance

PHP serves as WordPress’s execution engine, and its configuration directly impacts performance.

1. Basic PHP Configuration

/etc/php.ini
# /etc/php.ini
; Memory Settings
memory_limit = 512M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
max_input_vars = 3000

; File Upload Settings
upload_max_filesize = 128M
post_max_size = 128M
max_file_uploads = 50

; Session Settings
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100

; Error Handling (Production Environment)
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
error_log = /var/log/php_errors.log
  

2. PHP-FPM Configuration

/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
# /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

[www]
; Process Management
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 5
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 35
pm.max_requests = 500

; Resource Limits
php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 512M
php_admin_value[max_execution_time] = 300

; Logging Configuration
php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on
php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log
  

WordPress Configuration Optimization

WordPress configuration significantly impacts performance:

/var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php
# /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php

// Memory Settings
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M');
define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M');

// Performance Optimization
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
define('WP_CACHE', true);
define('EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS', 7);
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', 5);

// Debugging Settings (Production)
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
  

Configuration Changes and Service Restart

Changing configurations requires the same caution as replacing parts in a running engine. Here’s the safe procedure:

WordPress Service Restart Script

service_restart.sh
#!/bin/bash

# ================================
# Service Restart Script
# ================================

# Colors
RED='\033[0;31m'
GREEN='\033[0;32m'
YELLOW='\033[1;33m'
NC='\033[0m'

# Log file
LOG_FILE="/var/log/service_restart_$(date +%Y%m%d).log"
exec 1> >(tee -a "$LOG_FILE") 2>&1

# Services to restart
SERVICES=("php-fpm" "httpd")

# Prevent concurrent execution
LOCK_FILE="/tmp/service_restart.lock"
exec 200>$LOCK_FILE
flock -n 200 || { echo -e "${RED}Another instance is already running.${NC}"; exit 1; }

echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') : Starting service restart process"

# Syntax check
echo -e "${YELLOW}Checking configuration syntax...${NC}"
if ! httpd -t; then
    echo -e "${RED}Apache configuration syntax error!${NC}"
    exit 1
fi

if ! php-fpm -t; then
    echo -e "${RED}PHP-FPM configuration syntax error!${NC}"
    exit 1
fi

# Restart services
for SERVICE in "${SERVICES[@]}"; do
    echo -e "${YELLOW}Restarting ${SERVICE}...${NC}"
    if systemctl restart "$SERVICE"; then
        if systemctl is-active --quiet "$SERVICE"; then
            echo -e "${GREEN}${SERVICE} restarted successfully${NC}"
        else
            echo -e "${RED}${SERVICE} is not active after restart!${NC}"
            exit 1
        fi
    else
        echo -e "${RED}Failed to restart ${SERVICE}${NC}"
        exit 1
    fi
    sleep 2
done

# Check logs
echo -e "${YELLOW}Recent error logs:${NC}"
echo "---- Apache Error Log ----"
tail -n 10 /var/log/httpd/error_log || echo "No Apache error log found."
echo "---- PHP-FPM Error Log ----"
tail -n 10 /var/log/php-fpm/error.log || echo "No PHP-FPM error log found."

echo "$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') : Service restart completed"

sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/var/www/html/wordpress(/.*)?"
sudo semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content(/.*)?"
sudo restorecon -Rv /var/www/html/wordpress

# Additional SELinux settings
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db on
sudo setsebool -P httpd_unified on

# SELinux status verification
sestatus
getsebool -a | grep httpd
  

WordPress Server Monitoring and Maintenance

Implementing Effective System Monitoring

A systematic monitoring strategy is essential for maximizing WordPress server performance and ensuring stable operation. Here’s our field-tested approach to monitoring setup:

# Color definitions
GREEN='\033[0;32m]'
YELLOW='\033[1;33m'
RED='\033[0;31m'
NC='\033[0m'

# Memory monitoring function
monitor_memory() {
  free -m | awk '
  NR==2{
    used=$3
    total=$2
    pct=used*100/total
    printf "Memory Usage: %d/%dMB (%.1f%%)\n", used, total, pct
    if (pct > 90) {
      exit 1
    } else if (pct > 80) {
      exit 2
    }
  }'
  return $?
}

# CPU monitoring function
monitor_cpu() {
  cpu_usage=$(top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d. -f1)
  echo "CPU Usage: ${cpu_usage}%"

  if [ $cpu_usage -gt 90 ]; then
    return 1
  elif [ $cpu_usage -gt 80 ]; then
    return 2
  else
    return 0
  fi
}

# Disk monitoring function
monitor_disk() {
  disk_usage=$(df -h / | awk 'NR==2{print $5}' | cut -d% -f1)
  echo "Disk Usage: ${disk_usage}%"

  if [ $disk_usage -gt 90 ]; then
    return 1
  elif [ $disk_usage -gt 80 ]; then
    return 2
  else
    return 0
  fi
}
  

Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Setup and Tracking

Setup for tracking and analyzing key performance indicators of WordPress server:

monitor_wordpress_kpi.sh
