Do you optimise your servers for WordPress performance?

Yes, we optimise our servers for WordPress performance to ensure your websites run securely, efficiently and quickly. Our infrastructure and software stack are designed to provide the best possible environment for WordPress hosting. Here are some of the key optimisations we implement:

High-Performance Hardware



Our servers use AMD EPYC processors, known for their high performance and scalability. We also leverage NVMe SSDs, which provide faster data read/write speeds compared to traditional SSDs, reducing loading times for your WordPress websites.

Optimised Database Performance



We optimise our servers for database-driven applications like WordPress. MariaDB databases are finely tuned to ensure fast efficient query processing. This helps speed up database interactions, ensuring faster loading times for your site.

LiteSpeed Web Server with LSCache



Our servers run LiteSpeed Web Server, which is faster and more efficient than traditional Apache servers. LiteSpeed is fully optimised for WordPress and offers better performance. We also support the LiteSpeed Cache Plugin, which further boosts WordPress performance through advanced caching techniques, reducing server load and speeding up page loading times.

Object Caching with Redis



Our servers support Redis through a custom cPanel plugin. Redis is a powerful object caching system that stores frequently accessed data in memory, speeding up database queries and reducing the load on your WordPress site. By leveraging Redis, you can significantly improve your WordPress site’s performance, particularly during periods of high traffic.

Imunify360 for WordPress Security



We use Imunify360, an advanced security solution, to protect your WordPress sites from common threats like brute-force attacks and malware. Imunify360 offers real-time malware detection and automatic cleaning to safeguard your site. It's proactive defence feature identifies and blocks malicious requests before they can harm your site. This ensures that your WordPress site remains secure without compromising performance.

CloudLinux for Stability



We use CloudLinux on our servers to ensure resource stability. CloudLinux isolates each hosting account in its own lightweight virtual environment, meaning that no single site can consume all server resources. This isolation ensures your WordPress site remains stable and unaffected by other websites on the same server.


We continually monitor and update our servers to ensure optimal performance and security. This includes automated updates to core server software, security patches, and performance tweaks to keep your WordPress sites running smoothly.

By hosting your WordPress site with us, you benefit from a range of performance enhancements and optimisations tailored specifically to WordPress. If you have questions, feel free to contact our support team or email helpdesk@elitehost.co.za.
