I work with several large WordPress sites, news sites specifically, that have thousands of posts and thousands of visitors (300k/day). With the stuff below, and a well coded theme, with well written queries, we’re loading in 2.5s with 7 ad blocks from AdSense and RevContent. Do you have a CDN? I highly recommend a CDN … Read more
I use a very similar Nginx server set up and the following works great for me, however, I prefer to take a different route and split the server blocks configuration for “Non Secure – http” and “Secure – https” individually. Also as per your sub directory structure, you’d want to take a look at this … Read more
You’re missing your WordPress rewrite rules. It’s probably confusing because, in Apache, WordPresss automatically generates the rewrite rules in .htaccess. It does not do the same in nginx environments. Pay special attention to the WordPress documentation on nginx and configuration directives referencing HTTP rewrite rules, the “includes” directives for segmenting configuration and the specific WordPress … Read more
Actually, I solved it thanks to this reference: https://rtcamp.com/wordpress-nginx/tutorials/multisite/subdirectories/in-a-subdirectory/ With the root directory of the installation being “labs” in my case, the final nginx configuration file looks like: # You may add here your # server { # … # } # statements for each of your virtual hosts to this file ## # You … Read more
I guess the answer is that HHVM does not work with typical opcode caching, the compiler is not the same as “regular” PHP’s. HHVM has it’s own opcode caching that as far as I know does not integrate with APC or Zend’s OPcache, it does it’s own thing. In other words, it would be redundant. … Read more
There’s a post here that’s very good about load optimization and performance: Steps to Optimize WordPress in Regard to Server Load? It might be a good idea to also utilize a CDN for a majority of your page requests. If you want performance you’ll have to minimize requests to your database and setup aggressive caching. … Read more
You could try something like this: server { root /srv/www/example/htdocs; index index.php; # Matches any URL containing /wp-content/uploads/ location ~ “^(.*)/wp-content/uploads/(.*)$” { try_files $uri @prod_serv; } # Will redirect requests to your production server location @prod_serv { rewrite “^(.*)/wp-content/uploads/(.*)$” “http://yourdomain.com/m/wp-content/uploads/$2” redirect; } # The rest of your location blocks… location /m { index index.php; try_files … Read more
I’ve frequently seen this used in Apache 2.2: <Files “debug.log”> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> but that’s deprecated in Apache 2.4: The Allow, Deny, and Order directives, provided by mod_access_compat, are deprecated and will go away in a future version. You should avoid using them, and avoid outdated tutorials recommending their use. I just … Read more
I don’t have enough reputation for comments and hope I don’t get down voted here. I also use Nginx. Although my set up is a little different to yours the principal should be the same. In your nginx.conf you need to identify the domain names Nginx will handle. For example; http { include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf; server … Read more
From what I’ve seen on the market, Nginx and Cherokee are pretty interchangeable for what you’re doing. If you’ve already got things set up on Nginx … there’s no reason to switch to a different system. But if you want some benchmarks … I did a quick Google search and came up with these: http://blog.mudy.info/2009/02/nginx-vs-cherokee/ … Read more
