  1. Recommended VPS specs for a Wordpress blog with 30'000 unique visits per day?
  2. Hello, I am in need of a new VPS for my Wordpress blog: I get more or less 350-400 concurrent connections during rush hours. The average traffic is 30'000 unique IP's per day with unique 200'000 pageviews. My site is a simple blog and no other script or plugin: Premium theme + MYSQL + PHP 7.2. All images are compressed. I have a total of 2'000 articles with a small image attached.

  18. What do you suggest to use as webserver? Apache and a caching plugin like Wp-Rocket would be ok?
  20. I found a VPS with 1 gigabit (shared) port, 4 vCPU, 8 GB of RAM and SSD storage. Should be ok?
  22. Thank you!
  24. Your specs's sounds good for your needs maybe a bit of an over kill. I would like to know what you're current hosting situation is compared to what your are thinking about purchasing.
  26. It sounds to me like your a good web administrator and a have optimized your site well. You should be fine with Apache of course, but if your budget permits you could go with Litespeed if you going to spend the money on Wp-rocket.
  28. Depends on your budget at those specs you may look at a dedicated server instead of a VPS.

  32. Thank you!
  33. If the vCPU is dedicated to you, yes, should be ok. You also need to optimize your VPS to work properly and avoid crashing.

  36. Thank you for your replies guys!
  38. I thought about Litespeed webserver as Apache drop-in as well. But my site is quite regular, most static content.
  39. Wp-Rocket costs a fraction of Litespeed license (billed monthly). If I set up the caching plugin correctly, will it be enough?
  41. I am currently on a 2GB VPS with 2 vCPU (not shared) and SSD storage. Litespeed is good for heavy loaded sites (many forms, complex queries, many database access, high I/O traffic). My site has Disqus comment system and I set up an automatic sync with Wordpress database comment table running at night for 5 minutes only), it is absolutely lightweight.
  43. Litespeed would cost me 40% for the VPS I wrote about in the first post (8GB of RAM, 4 vCPU): is it worth the price?
  45. Light Speed has a plugin for WordPress that caches the static content, have you tried it. In terms of web server, you'd use NGINX. If you add CloudFlare's free level to that, you'd save some computing resources, which would allow you to get to the lowest possible monthly price. I hope that this helps!

  55. Why, what's wrong with your current VPS? Is the website slow? Why is it slow? Is it crashing? Have you pinpointed the root cause for the slowdown or crash? Is it caused by a lack of memory, CPU, or disk IO? Those are the first questions to ask and work toward answering.

  66. Hello!
  67. According to server logs and stats, memory usage is ok but the CPU is suffering: server load goes over 10.00 during traffic peaks. The 2 vCPU are running at 500 Mhz each (the whole machine is a Xeon that works @ 2.1GHz), they are underclocked and there is no way to improve the speed execpt upgrading the VPS. Their manager told me so.

  71. 500MHz is very low clocked (read: artificially limited). So a move elsewhere is reasonable. But you can definitely leverage the free RAM you have available to free up the CPU.

  79. I love the nomenclature some hosts use. A vCPU = 1/2 of an actual cpu core. So you have 1 core with 2 threads. Typically one can have a peak load 2x the threads (4 in your case). And if you got the full Ghz, your load of 10 would be more like 2.5 if it wasn't limiting you to 500mhz.
  81. 1/4 of 1 cpu is actually what you're getting. Which is some underhanded BS in my opinion.
  83. So kudos for getting that much performance out of WP.

  88. LiteSpeed does have a free starter license, it limits you to 1 domain, 1 worker (plenty for a 2 vCPU VPS) and 2GB of RAM:

  91. The Free starter license has all the features that the paid version does, so LSCache, QUIC, ESI Cache, mod_security rules, reading your apache config directly etc.
  93. Then install the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress and see your site fly (I have customers that do 3-4x your traffic on less hardware using LiteSpeed Web Server).

  96. I think you would be better off hosting the site on a high-spec performance hosting type of plan so the cost is lower but have all the benefits of LS/Cache etc etc etc without paying extra for them.
  98. Keep in mind, that with a VPS a lot of the resources goes to the OS/services, and so if the VPS is quite small resource-wise then it does not leave many resources left for the website to run itself.

  103. This is such am important element that many miss.
  105. Some will suggest a VPS with X amount of RAM and all the bells and whistles, forgetting that those bells and whistles take up 50% of the RAM, and what's left doesn't always work, especially if some plugins have their own memory requirements, which then leave %20 for PHP and MySQL. Instant crash.
  107. If you're getting so much traffic why don't you switch to a dedicated server instead of shared hosting.
  108. just an advice.
  109. 200k pageviews aren't really that much and can run perfectly fine on shared hosting.
