Maria DB Optimization ( for WordPress)

oempire · Jun 30, 2020

Hi all

hoping someone can help we have a huge server for just a couple of sites but are not getting the performance we would expect (the site is a big one)

we've run mySQL tuner and would love some input.

The server we are on has 256 GB ram and SSD drives 10 core / 20 thread CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v4 @ 2.40GHz

Also running litespeed and LSCACHE

Bash:

 >>  MySQLTuner 1.7.19 - Major Hayden <[email protected]>
 >>  Bug reports, feature requests, and downloads at http://mysqltuner.com/
 >>  Run with '--help' for additional options and output filtering

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
    Control warning line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/magi.mysticmedusa.com.err file
    Control error line(s) into /var/lib/mysql/magi.mysticmedusa.com.err file
    Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=1
    We will suggest raising the 'join_buffer_size' until JOINs not using indexes are found.
             See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/join-buffer-size.html
             (specially the conclusions at the bottom of the page).
    When making adjustments, make tmp_table_size/max_heap_table_size equal
    Reduce your SELECT DISTINCT queries which have no LIMIT clause
    Performance schema should be activated for better diagnostics
    Before changing innodb_log_file_size and/or innodb_log_files_in_group read this: https://bit.ly/2TcGgtU
Variables to adjust:
    query_cache_size (=0)
    query_cache_type (=0)
    query_cache_limit (> 1M, or use smaller result sets)
    join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with JOINs)
    tmp_table_size (> 128M)
    max_heap_table_size (> 128M)
    table_definition_cache(400) > 918 or -1 (autosizing if supported)
    performance_schema = ON enable PFS
    innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 9.7G) if possible.
    innodb_log_file_size should be (=1G) if possible, so InnoDB total log files size equals to 25% of buffer pool size.

Have you made any modifications based off the recommendations of MySQL tuner at this point?

ZenHostingTravis · Jul 1, 2020

That's a powerful server.

The Litespeed team would be able to assist you with fine-tuning.

no not yet, was getting some advice first

Also we were thinking of installing LSMCD

Im not sure where to get the support for litespeed sides of things - do i get it through cpanel or litespeed i sifgned up through cpanel easyapache/store so dont have a login to litespeed directly

So I can say usually going with their recommendations is usually the best bet. There are some others here who may be able to provide you with additional advice. You could also hire a sysadmin service to optimize it as well, if you don't have one you might find one here: System Administration Services

For Litespeed, if you purchased your license through us you are welcome to open a ticket with us, or ask your question here

Hi Lauren actually i checked my my.cnf and its empty is there a standard one you could recommend as a minimum ??
