Just made a WordpressMU install, with three sites on subdomains, and they run slower than a single WP install. That's only obvious, but I only have three sites under MU. Must be my MySQL server is a bit slow. Was also running a pagespeed test on my server, and the respond was so so. Then I looked around to see if I could find som optimization tips, and I found that thing really have progressed on the Nginx server front and PHP-FM.

Theres a mod which installes a LEMP (Nginx, MariaDB MySQL & PHP-FPM) web stack for CentOS 6.x Linux.

This is the stack-installer: http://centminmod.com

I really like those stats I found on following sites:

http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/category/centmin-mod/

And a lot of cases here:

https://community.centminmod.com/forums/show-cases-centmin-testimonials.6/

I'm really impressed with the stats on a simple 2GB VPS. DUH, so much for my standalone low-traffic server.

Taken from above link:

"The first blog post showed WordPress and WordPress Super Cache benchmarks for Blitz.io load testing results at 1000, 2000 and 4000 users. So curious to see how this blog stands up to a Blitz.io 6000 user stress test as well on this 2GB KVM based DigitalOcean KBM VPS + CentOS 7.0 using Centmin Mod LEMP web stack and PHP 7.0.0-dev (PHP NG).

Blitz.io load tested this WordPress blog’s index page with 6000 users over 60 seconds with California region. There were few minor TCP errors ~1333 or 0.95%.

WordPress Super Cache in action + Centmin Mod LEMP web stack = 200+ million hits/day or 6 billion hits per month with peak of 3,746 hits/second and an average of 2,316 hits/second. Average response time was 183ms with slowest being 715ms once it hit 6000 user mark.

The WordPress blog maintained a 14ms response time up to 2496 user mark and then response time spiked to 80ms at 2955 users, 94ms at 3246 users, 183ms at 3497 users, 201ms at 3996 users, 505ms at 4996 users."

Though I'm a little affraid to mess with my production server, I would like to see if someone have tested the mod on centos, with DA running? Is this the way to go? Is DA compatible with the stack? I mean, can those stats be true? Might just ditch the server and rent a small VPS and make a CDN on Amazon, and save a lot of money...and gain speed speed speed :)

Anyone?
 
OK. I just read up on it, after a few hours of sleep, think this needs some testing. I could build a small 15GB KVM and test the script on CentOS 7. Let me sleep on it... just adventures I guess. It's not related to DA's defaults.

I will optimize MySQL on my current setup, delete some slack, and maybe also allocated some more juice to it, I will not mess with that LAMP as is.

Just want to follow up and say that WPMU on my default LAMP is running smooth now and are up-to-speed. About 97% to 99% under GTMatrix/PageSpeed on most domains. Just added the QuickCache plugin on everything WP.

Tonight I will restart the KVM - added 50% more RAM and two more CPU cores, just to be on the safe side. After the restart I can make an evaluation on the progress. I also suspect that Apache 2.4.10 and MySQL 5.6.22 uses a little more juice.

Conclusion: LAMP is still my favourite, like a wife. If it's not broken - don't fix it. DA+CB2+LAMP is very stable here. WP is just a little hungry I guess, but it's amazing what a couple of plugins can do....and some sleep :)

thx
