How to speed up websites on Plesk hosting?

Moebuntu · Dec 9, 2016

I am using Plesk for running scripts and some small sites on a Plesk hosting. I want to improve speed for them, are there any options in Plesk can i enable that help boosting loading speed for a php website or a custom script?

hello Moebuntu,
at first are you using php7 for your websites ? because that's the first way to make them faster.
After that, you can edit the php settings to allow more resources usage :

Some settings you can change :

Code:

max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 2048M

And the opcache settings i'm using with php7

Code:

[opcache]
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=0
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=4
opcache.max_accelerated_files=20000
opcache.max_wasted_percentage=5
opcache.validate_timestamps=1
opcache.revalidate_freq=2
opcache.optimization_level=0xffffffff

To improve performance, you can also use some caching system like memcached or redis if your script allow to use them.
I have write two scripts to install the PECL extensions memcached and redis for Plesk Onyx on debian 8 jessie. You can find them on my git

VirtuBox, where can I put these codes? I am new to Plesk. Adding on each website or in a configuration file that affect for all?
I'm using PHP7 and seeing that it is boosting loading speed for my web pages.

If my scripts don't allow memcached or redis then how? I am running different scipts and some WP sites on Plesk but I would speed up for all in a common way. I check your scripts but don't know how to use. Readme file lacks of information.

You can edit them in Tools & Settings > PHP Settings - it will set them as default, after for each site, go in php settings to make sure it use the default values

For custom scripts, there is probably no caching system available.
I will add more informations and a tutorial to use redis caching with WordPress with Plesk Onyx.

Well ... In order to make the website fast ofcourse Plesk will help however you will need to optimize the website as well as server resources too. Tuning the server performance , making website as zipped as you can , setting up mysql parameters and apache parameters. Also make sure the images of the website are smushed enough in size and it will enhance the speed of the website.

Adding to the list of things to help out, I have to say that having a VPS or dedicated server would be a big help. Also, if you have WordPress, you should look into caching plugins. Finally, if you do have a VPS or higher (and Plesk 11.5 or higher) than you might want to look into ways of modifying php-fpm and ningx.

Oh, by the way, there was some mention on here about image compression. Well, there are two popular WP plugins that could help out: Imagify and WP Smush.
