Hi
I am just looking for some advice for transferring my wordpress/woocommerce installation.
Besides the obvious when it concerns DNS changes. any advice on this?
Should I have a separate MySQL droplet? Should I configure a caching droplet? Or have some cashing service on same server as Apache Should I use a CDN? and if so what one should I use?
I currently have a wordpress/woocommerce multisite installation with 5 sites on it, with a separate 1 site woocommerce installation.
I plan to move the separate one site installation first but eventually have all 6 sites (1x5 and 1x1), on same droplet, but just make it more powerful
Cheers

Thanks for your answer and sorry I missed it. Keeping MySQL local is interesting as most people would want it on a different server
Do I need a plugin for cloud flare?
Yes I need to strip down my plugins
Ditch security plugins, now this is interesting as I do have have wordfence and it is a little heavy weight
I actually moved from Magento because it was slow
Hey friend,
From my time managing Wordpress sites, I never met a WooCommerce site that didn’t struggle with performance. I don’t think it’s WooCommerce itself as much as it is what people do with it (fill the database until it takes forever to run a query). I do have some opinions about best practices though.
Know that performance issues may still occur, and it may not be your fault or the server’s fault. Sometimes, I think, people outgrow the use of Wordpress for e-commerce and just don’t want to admit it. Don’t be afraid to admit it, make sure you know your alternatives for if/when that day comes.
