Why Managed Hosting?

Managed hosting is a premium hosting service where the provider manages all the technical aspects of running a site. Key benefits include:

• Automatic updates for WordPress core, themes, and plugins.
• Timeless performance with inbuilt caching, CDN integration, and scalable resources.
• Advanced security with malware scanning, firewalls, and DDoS protection.

Step 3: Essential Plugin Installation

For Jupiter X to function optimally, install its core plugins:

1. After activating the theme, a notification will prompt you to install required plugins.
2. Install and activate:
   • Jupiter X Core (indispensable for theme functionality).
   • Elementor (intuitive drag-and-drop page builder).
   • Also Artbees SellKit Pro to get exclusive functionalities and features for WooCommerce. This plugin is included in Jupiter X for free.

Step 4: Optimizing Server & PHP Configurations

Pagely’s infrastructure always supports the current stable version of PHP (currently PHP 8.1), but verifying optimal settings is advisable:

1. In WordPress, navigate to Tools > Site Health.
2. Confirm the following configurations:
   • PHP Version
   • Memory Limit: Minimum 256MB for enhanced performance.
   • Max Execution Time: 160 seconds or higher for seamless operations.
   • Upload Max Filesize: At least 64MB for theme imports and media uploads.

If adjustments are necessary, these settings can be modified within Pagely’s admin panel or through support assistance.

Step 5: Leveraging Pagely’s Advanced Performance Features

1. Activating PressCache for Enhanced Speed

Pagely uses their own caching mechanism called PressCACHE™ with the power and stability of NGINX‘s caching solution. This is a foundation of our architecture that gives you fast speed for your WordPress sites. Settings are available directly from your WordPress admin screens and allow you to enable/disable or turn on developer mode.

2. Enabling PressCDN for Global Asset Optimization

CDN stands for Content Delivery Network, a distributed system of caching endpoints that speeds up load times, serving data and media from a location closer to the user, freeing the load on your server, and providing a scalable solution to your application, while also increasing security. Pagely’s own native solution, PressCDN, is built on the AWS CloudFront system and handles all of these tasks for you.

Tip: On your WordPress admin dashboard. In the left side menu, hover over Pagely to find the settings for PressCache and PressCDN. Well these are common, default features so they’re managed by Pagely hands free for your viewing pleasure, and other than purging, a few config here and there, not much to do.
