Performance Tuning
Performance tuning improves user experience and helps websites remain stable under normal and peak traffic.
Baseline approach
- Measure current performance.
- Identify the largest bottlenecks.
- Apply focused changes.
- Re-measure and keep proven improvements.
Areas to tune
Caching
- Use application/page caching where appropriate.
- Set browser caching for static assets.
- Exclude dynamic sessions (cart, checkout, user account) from unsafe cache layers.
Front-end delivery
- Compress and resize media.
- Reduce blocking scripts and unused assets.
- Use CDN where beneficial.
Application/runtime
- Review plugin/theme overhead.
- Keep runtime versions and dependencies current.
- Adjust application/PHP settings only when justified by measurement.
Monitoring and review
- Watch traffic and resource trends in Hosting Panel.
- Check impact after releases, campaigns, or large imports.
- Keep a simple rollback plan for high-impact performance changes.
