Question

WordPress on Ubuntu 18.04 OneClick - What are the custom MySQL and other settings?

Hi there, I am very impressed with the security and speed of the WordPress on Ubuntu 18.04 OneClick install, fastest WP I have ever used and scores over 90 on PageSpeed. I am just wondering exactly the customization’s to Ubuntu, MySQL, Apache etc that DigitalOcean does to make it run so fast? I picked up a few things in MySQL cnf’s but not sure that would increase the speed that much?

Cheers, Richie

Hello, Richie

You can optimize your database via phpMyAdmin or via ssh. You can also use a WordPress plugin to do that, this one is really good: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-dbmanager/

Also you can mysqltunner (it’s a really cool script written in perl). It will check your current mysql values and it will suggest some values to adjust in the my.cnf file:

Download the MySQLTuner script:

wget http://mysqltuner.com/mysqltuner.pl

Change the scripts permissions to be executable:

chmod +x mysqltuner.pl

```Run the mysqltuner.pl script. You will be prompted to enter in your MySQL administrative login and password:

./mysqltuner.pl

You should see some recommended values that you can tweak in the my.cmf file. This should help you optimize your database a bit.

Let me know if you have some questions.
