How to Increase PHP Workers


On this page

    PHP Workers handle multiple requests simultaneously on your WordPress site. If you’re experiencing performance issues due to high traffic or concurrent requests, increasing the number of PHP Workers can help improve your site’s performance. This guide explains how to adjust PHP Workers using Staq.

    Steps to Increase PHP Workers

    To adjust the number of PHP Workers for your site, follow these steps:

    • Log into your site’s Staq Panel.
    • Click on PHP Config.
    • Find the option labeled Max PHP Workers.
    • By default, it is set to 10. Adjust the number of PHP Workers as needed and click Save.

    Please note that additional costs will apply.

    Upgrading Beyond 20 PHP Workers

    If you need more than 20 PHP Workers, please contact our support team. We will assist in upgrading your site to a different environment, which is more cost-effective through a custom plan.

    Conclusion

    Increasing PHP Workers can enhance your site’s ability to handle higher traffic or concurrent requests. For any requirements beyond the default settings, reach out to our support team for a tailored solution.
