My WordPress Server Setup
I’m going to try to describe the WordPress server you are currently browsing. This is run on old hardware but I’ve been optimizing the software side of WordPress to get the highest speed possible. On these pages you can read what I’ve done to get WordPress optimized to get as much speed as possible with old hardware.
I’ll go trough my installation and how to try to squeeze as much speed as possible from limited resources. The server is run from my home internet line and still manages to take a pretty severe beating.
Things covered is the hardware setup, the Ubuntu Linux install, optimization of Apache and MySql, caching plugins for WordPress, using CDN for image and download delivery and putting up a Varnish Server in front of it all.
I’ll try to keep this pages updated as a server log for me to remember all the different settings. Maybe it can help you to?
Comments and pointers are always appreciated.
