Description:
1. PHP & Server Configuration Fixes Increase PHP limits (Elementor safe values): upload_max_filesize = 128M post_max_size = 256M memory_limit = 512M max_execution_time = 300 max_input_vars = 5000 Update .user.ini or main php.ini as appropriate. Ensure Imagick, cURL, and GD are correctly configured. Fix PHP-FPM settings for stability: pm.max_children = 8 pm.max_requests = 500 Optimise idle workers Confirm OpCache is properly configured and not fragmented. 2. Install & Configure Redis Object Cache Install Redis server and PHP Redis extension Enable persistent object caching Configure Redis through wp-config.php Validate with WordPress health tools Ensure no negative impact on PageSpeed 3. Nginx Performance Tuning Add or update: a) Static File Caching location ~* \.(css\|js\|jpg\|jpeg\|gif\|png\|webp\|svg\|ico\|woff2)$ { expires 30d; access_log off; } b) Compression Enable gzip Enable Brotli if available c) Disable XML-RPC location = /xmlrpc.php { return 403; } 4. Database (MariaDB) Optimisation Enable slow query log Tune my.cnf for WordPress Reduce max_connections from 250 → 50 Verify table indexes & charset (utf8mb4) Clean and optimise tables 5. WordPress-Level Server Improvements Disable WP-Cron and replace with system cron every 5 minutes Limit post revisions to 10 Disable file editor in wp-config.php Ensure .htaccess and file ownerships are correct (even though site uses Nginx) 6. Security Hardening (Server + WP) Server: Add security headers: X-Frame-Options X-Content-Type-Options Referrer-Policy Permissions-Policy Block sensitive files: wp-config.php .env SQL, log, and backup files Fail2Ban setup: SSH brute force wp-login brute force XML-RPC attacks WordPress: Review Solid Security configuration Remove inactive plugins safely Ensure only necessary PHP extensions loaded Enable automatic OS security updates 7. Monitoring & Logging Set up logrotate for: Nginx PHP-FPM Redis MariaDB Optional: install monitoring (Netdata / Monit) DELIVERABLES The selected freelancer must provide: Confirmation of every item completed Before/After diagnostics Redis status verification MariaDB tuning summary PHP-FPM status overview Nginx config backups Security headers test GTmetrix & PageSpeed before/after (must stay at 97–99) REQUIREMENTS Must have 5+ years real sysadmin experience Must understand performance tuning for WordPress on Nginx Must understand how to optimise without using NitroPack Must NOT break any existing caching behaviour Must back up config files before changes Must be available for follow-up questions
