PHP_FPM not getting optimized

[amrit_singh]

Hi, I have a tough time managing php_fpm as it consumes too much CPU. I have read plenty of forums but none of them are of help to me. I don't want to switch to a different handle as there will be obvious trade-offs and I have yet not an expert in Linux yet. I am attaching the server load whereas my server is of 4 cores on AWS.

Any help/guidance will be highly appreciated to get me out of this situation.

Hey there! Have you checked out our tuning article here?

Tutorial - PHP-FPM Performance Tuning Basics

Overview This resource provides instructions on how to tune performance directives when PHP-FPM is installed and enabled as a PHP handler in cPanel & WHM. Background information on how PHP-FPM is implemented with cPanel & WHM is available on our...

forums.cpanel.net

That gives some guidelines on how you can adjust the server to use PHP-FPM resources.

It also seems like you have a lot of free RAM, so leveraging caching with tools like Nginx could help decrease page load times.

Hi,
I didn't know WHM has an NGINX tool. I will definitely check it out and share the results in a week or so.

Thanks a lot

Here are some more details about our nginx implementation:

This document explains how to install NGINX with Reverse Proxy on a server that runs cPanel & WHM and EasyApache 4.

Hi cPRex, just want to know being a noob in Linux is it a viable option to go for NGINX and will there be a clash with EA?

Not at all - our implementation of nginx works with EasyApache, and if you don't like it for any reason, you just remove it and everything goes back to how it was.
