Cloudways Review (2022) With Speed Optimization Recommendations
Cloudways recently added a "promo code page" to get 30% off 3 months: https://www.cloudways.com/en/promo-code.php?id=262128 (better than my OMM25 coupon code).
Recommended Speed Optimizations on Cloudways:
-Use Vultr HF which uses NVMe storage and faster CPU clock speeds
-Choose a data center close to visitors
-Use a 2GB+ server size for WooCommerce
-Activate the Redis add-on and Cloudways will install a MU (must-use) plugin on your site
-Use PHP 7.4+ (or test whether 8.0 is compatible with your site/plugins)
-Use MariaDB 10.4
-Increase memory limit (i.e. 512MB)
-Use Cloudflare or BunnyCDN since CloudwaysCDN (StackPath) isn't great
-I use FlyingPress (by Gijo) for my cache plugin now (instead of Breeze or WP Rocket)... made a big difference
I've been using Cloudways to host my WordPress site since 2019 after moving away from SiteGround. My site loads instantly and TTFB is usually around 150ms with as 1.4s fully loaded time (even for posts with tons of images and comments). They're not as beginner-friendly as some hosts, but this tutorial should help you decide if they're right for you.
