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.
