What is the best PHP Mode to use? (Performance and security)
php_mode= mod_php, suphp, fastcgi, lsphp, php-fpm, ...

It up to your work,
php-fpm is good, because can easy tracking usage and work well on share hosting.

If you on work only your self and not share hosting, fastcgi is useful for any work.

if you on small server, mod_php can work well.

Thanks

It is for shared hosting. 'a long time ago' we used php-fpm but switched to fastcgi because it was easier for write rights and see who was running scripts using top-command.
But this was a long time ago, so maybe it is evolved and there are better solutions.

if you on small server, mod_php can work well.

Depends on what you call small.
We had mod_php with mod_ruid2 running on a server with 60-70 customers until last year, works great, also for security.

You don't have to worry about rights because as with php-fpm scripts are run as the user. Downside is you can only have 1 version of php running officially when using mod_php with mod_ruid2.
So this way you can also see which user is running scripts with the top command.

Php-fpm is great for giving your user a change to choose which php version they will use. Als this way they can easily test if their scripts work with a new version, before you stop supporting a certain version.

They all have their benefits and downsides, depending on what you want to use it for.

PHP-FPM is fast enough and secure. It's the best choice for shared hosting. The web server will also support HTTP2.
