Xenforo Centmin Mod LEMP powers ~10% of Xenforo's largest forums !

I was reading the Xenforo largest forum listing at The Large XenForo Forums List and decided to crawl the listed forums to see how many are running Centmin Mod LEMP stack. Some are behind Cloudflare but I do know they did or are using Centmin Mod.

It worked out that ~10% of the largest Xenforo forum's listed are running Centmin Mod LEMP stack of some form Would be interesting to see how many vBulletin and Invision Board forums are also powered by Centmin Mod

When I left working for vBulletin and specifically optimising vBulletin related forum servers, one of my goals for my Centmin Mod LEMP stack was to reach the point that my LEMP stack was performant enough that it would end up powering many of the largest forums on the internet. It seems Centmin Mod is heading in that direction quite nicely

Centmin Mod performs and scales nicely

• Nginx - Nginx HTTP/2 HTTPS Benchmarks - Centmin Mod vs Easyengine vs Webinoly vs VestaCP vs OneInStack
• Nginx - Nginx Static HTML Benchmarks - Centmin Mod vs Easyengine vs Webinoly vs VestaCP vs OneInStack
• PHP - PHP 7.x Benchmarks Centmin Mod vs Easyengine vs Webinoly vs VestaCP vs OneInStack

Definitely have to thank fellow Centmin Mod users for promoting Centmin Mod usage for Xenforo and other forum software like vBulletin, Invision Board etc

@Matt @rdan @BamaStangGuy @BoostN @wmtech @pamamolf @Jimmy @Revenge are some folks I can think of. Sorry if I forgot to shout out to other folks

 

yeah I guess not all large forums are on that forum list

cheers, one day ... one day ! The quite times/slower times right now are probably the most important in laying a solid foundation for Centmin Mod LEMP's features and code for when the busy times are upon us

 

Yeah your forums is one I remember to account for

Cheers, yes time flies I have been dealing with forum server optimisation/tuning since 2001 so coming on 18 yrs this December 2019 It's amazing how server hardware and software has improved so much since back then. You can really do alot with just a single Intel Xeon E3-1270v6 4C/8T cpu based server these days if you software/web stack is optimally tuned (Centmin Mod LEMP stack ) And that is without Cloudflare in front which further enhances performance and scalability

Reminds me of your thread at MariaDB - MariaDB 10.1 Slower After Upgrading From 5.5 when you accidentally switched from Centmin Mod auto optimised /etc/my.cnf MySQL settings

Cheers very much appreciated

 

Apparently, there's a few Xenforo large forums in Alexa Top 10,000 web sites on the internet that are using Centmin Mod LEMP stack too

 

don't think @Matt did, I still see curl headers return LiteSpeed web server

 

Ah re-checked and yup TAZ Xenforo forums have switched to using Centmin Mod LEMP stack now !

Unfortunate, guess someone else took the reigns and put TAZ on Centmin Mod with Google Cloud server it seems !

 

Yup Threadloom purchased TAZ and move it to Centmin Mod LEMP stack on Google Cloud servers!

 

I know the owner of that forum but Centmin Mod LEMP stack setup wasn't me, so other smart sysadmin making the good web stack decisions apparently
