You're probably already familiar with her; you've probably seen her online baking some cake or some old-fashioned home remedy, or on Sky TV , suggesting some famous menu to spark your culinary inspiration, or simply preparing some creative recipe.
We're talking about Fatto in Casa da Benedetta , a website, online recipe book, and a YouTube and television format of a certain caliber.
Our task was to improve and optimize something that was already good enough, however, by implementing some improvements on the technical side.
From the correct format of MySQL tables converted from the less performant MyISAM to InnoDB (in the graph below you can see the performance increased by about 500%) to a correct management of indexes and WordPress table options to the implementation of a high-performance stack involving NGINX, REDIS, Memcached and Varnish.
Correct configuration of cache purging and refreshing policies as well as future management of AMP pages, as well as lossless image optimizations, accompanied by 24/7 support, triple daily hot incremental backups with 90 days of data retention has certainly given something more in terms of both guarantees and speed to a project that certainly does not leave (and should not leave) room for superficiality.
The project boasts approximately 3 million accesses per month, with peak user numbers of thousands of connected users per second, which caused a few availability issues and too many crashes before the transition to our management.
The cache previously managed by a WordPress Plugin WP SuperCache has been completely replaced by an Nginx / Varnish / Memcached “sandwich” stack driven by W3 Total Cache with PHP 7.2 in Fast Process Manager mode in the backend with Zend OpCache enabled to further improve performance.
A correct mounting of the partitions (which most of the hosters currently do not do) as well as an effective tuning of Percona Server allowed us to significantly lower the load at the Database level.
Real-time monitoring of site availability, as well as constant proactive control with Zabbix, allows us to keep track of all vital parameters and loads in convenient and practical graphs that allow us to understand the status of the systems and be notified in real time of any problems with load or service availability.
In short, regardless of whether you are an IT expert, technology expert, webmaster, or cooking expert, today we will have the certainty that if you want to look for a recipe, the site will be performing and accessible, to the delight of search engines but above all that of you users. .
Practical proof of how our experience in providing high-performance WordPress hosting is once again appreciated and chosen by publishing projects that are certainly worthy of note and successful.
