Ensure Imagick, cURL, and GD are correctly configured. Fix PHP-FPM settings for stability: pm.max_children = 8 pm.max_requests = 500 Optimise idle workers Confirm OpCache is properly configured and not fragmented. 2. Install & Configure Redis Object Cache Install Redis server and PHP Redis extension Enable persistent object caching Configure Redis through wp-config.php Validate with WordPress health tools Ensure no negative impact on PageSpeed 3.
