How to optimize server performance and site load times

Introduction

In some cases, you may want to know more about what steps you can take to optimize website loading times and overall server performance.

Procedure

Please note that while you can take action to alter how your server functions, cPanel does not directly manage or control server performance optimization. In general, server optimization requires in-depth investigation into your server's needs and is best handled by a Systems Administrator or Hosting Provider.

Server optimization covers many topics that can cover almost every aspect of the server. However, the following guides cover the most common issues that users experience:

• Apache Tuning
• MySQL Query Performance
• PHP Performance Tuning

As long as your server has enough hardware to balance out its active workload, proper utilization and implementation of the above guides can help you get more performance out of your server.
