Vladimir Lasky to Present Talk “Make WordPress Fly With Virtual Server Hosting” at WordCamp Sydney 2014

Our Lead Developer Vladimir Lasky will be presenting the talk “Make WordPress Fly With Virtual Server Hosting” at WordCamp Sydney 2014, to be held on the weekend of September 27 & 28 at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) City Campus.

His talk advocates the benefits of moving a WordPress site from shared hosting to Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting with information on:

How shared hosting environments limit the performance of a WordPress site

How VPS environments operate

Why pure SSD storage on a VPS is essential for good performance

The limitations and drawbacks of page caching, object caching and minifying plugins

Why all-in-one hosting control panels are evil

How PHP Opcode caching is the only true way to make WordPress run faster

How MySQL query caching dramatically speeds up communication between WordPress and MySQL

Tips on securing your VPS

Vlad presents an WordPress VPS-hosting approach designed to:

Not be radically different from a commonly-configured LAMP software environment

Avoid cache invalidation-related problems and minimise plugin incompatibilities

Ensure that everyone sees the most current state of your WordPress site

Ensure that logged in users and those working in the WordPress admin backend will also experience a speed increase
