Hi cPanel Community,

 

I wanted to know what are some key configuration files for cPanel that help to use server resources properly? and what are their value rules as per the resources?

 

Actually, I managed to setup an EC2 instance on aws with 2GB of RAM and 2 Core processor, long ago in 2019. It was as per our requitements at that moment. Now, this year we upgraded system to 8 GB of RAM and 4 Core processors as websites and apps running on this was laggy. But the problem persists. No big changes in performance of applications and websites. 

 

So, I am here to learn from the community about what wrong we are doing, and what are some key configuration files that has to be modified after upgrades in order to improve performance of websites and Apps. 

 

Looking forward to hearing back from community experts and admins soon.

  Hey there!  This is a very open-ended question with no answer that will be perfect for every user.  cPanel tries to make the default configuration apply to the largest possible set of users, but of course there is never a true "one size fits all" answer for anything.

  I would say this - are you seeing any specific performance issues?  If so, where, and what services?  If not, you may not need to adjust anything.

  Hi,

  Thank you for your response.

  I face issues mainly with loading speed of website made using WordPress . Rest are working fine.

  With WordPress, the first thing I would check is the databases on the system.  Do you see anything out of the ordinary if you check "mysqladmin proc status" on the command line?  Specifically, we'd be looking for slow queries.

  Here is the result.

  mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
  error: 'SSL connection error: SSL is required but the server doesn't support it'

  That's interesting - could you share the output of your server's /etc/my.cnf file so we can see if there is anything odd there?

  Thanks for sharing that - you'll likely need to comment out the SSL section and restart MySQL in order to run the test properly. However...restarting MySQL will clear the data we want to see.

  When you say the site is loading slowly, are there certain elements of the page that you notice with this issue?
