Optimizing Nginx for a Wordpress site?

Question

Nginx

The question is no longer relevant, thanks to everyone who responded.

Answer 1

I advise you to transfer the backend from php5-cgi to apache2, and even better to php-fpm (everyone praises but didn’t work with it myself) and on the nginx front end it’s better to install the wp-super cache plugin instead of maxcache, you can search the Internet for suitable nginx configurations wp super cache.

Answer 2

Throw maxcache out in the cold, enable opcache in php if not already enabled, configure fastcgi cache in nginx (during configuration, you may have to remove unnecessary set cookies in the site code). Then look in the logs, look for a bottleneck, and usually these are all sorts of fs.file-max, nofile and similar system settings to withstand > 1k.

Answer 3

Install an APC cache and cache with the em object cache plugin . Also cache widgets widget output cache .
I was on shared hosting for 500 rubles for the new year and 80k without any problems and no static caching.
