Optimize Apache and Nginx to Serve WordPress Cache Directly, Bypassing PHP

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A guide explains how to configure Apache and Nginx to serve WP Rocket's static HTML cache without invoking PHP, reducing Time to First Byte (TTFB) and CPU usage. The optimization checks for GET requests, empty query strings, and non-logged-in users before delivering cached files. Benefits include lower server load, better performance during traffic spikes, and improved scalability on VPS or dedicated servers.

Meridian48 take
