Combination Feedback for Hestiacp

Dear All

I have certain questions in mind and I had been testing hestiacp sinc last 2-3 days.

  1. Which is a better, faster, more secure os for hestia Ubuntu 20.04 or debian 10.5

  2. What is a more faster, secure robust combination for hestiacp to run a very high traffic wordpress website - Apache+Nginx or only Nginx or only apache?

  3. What is an excellent cache for wordpress and hestiacp

Varnish, redis or memcached.

regards

Which is a better, faster, more secure os for hestia Ubuntu 20.04 or debian 10.5

Doesn’t matter really. both are fast and secure…

What is a more faster, secure robust combination for hestiacp to run a very high traffic wordpress website - Apache+Nginx or only Nginx or only apache?

Apache stand alone is the worst performance

Nginx standalone is technically faster but lacks of .htaccess and need often a separate template for optimal performance. Apache2 + Nginx depends on your set up

What is an excellent cache for wordpress and hestiacp
Varnish != Redis or memcached

How ever I am currently using an combination of Nginx cache (+ Apache2) + Redis cache for optimal performance.

How ever fast_cgi_cache will work fine if it is configured good.

What is an excellent cache for wordpress and hestiacp

can you please elaborate this?

Apache in Prefork (modphp) is slower due to the fact it load always the php “code” even for non php files. With event it is slightly better how ever my experience Nginx is beter in handling static files. That why one “default” setup is Nginx in Proxy mode and Apache2 as webserver.
