    Nginx 1.31.x
    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+/12.3+
    There's generally 3 ways of setting up HTTPS SSL certificate for Centmin Mod Nginx HTTP/2 based HTTPS

    Method 1. The traditional way via centmin.sh menu option 2, 22 and selecting yes to self-signed ssl certificates first. Then converting the self-signed ssl certificate to paid or free (Letsencrypt) web browser trusted SSL certificates outlined at How to switch self-signed SSL certificate to paid SSL certificate ? You would still need to follow the same steps outlined at Nginx SPDY SSL Configuration for obtaining and purchasing the paid SSL certificate and most important part is the concatenation of the SSL provider provided filesto create the mentioned /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/domaincom/ssl-unified.crt and /usr/local/nginx/conf/ssl/domaincom/ssl-trusted.crtfiles referenced in your Nginx SSL vhost config file.

    You may need to also decide if you want to enable HTTP to HTTPS redirect outlined at How to force redirect from HTTP:// to HTTPS:// ?

    If you didn't answer yes at time of initial nginx vhost creation to self-signed ssl certificates, you can manually setup the self-signed ssl certificate via the vhost generator by checking self-signed ssl box and enter a domain name. This will outline instructions for manually creating and setting up self-signed ssl certificate and nginx vhost settings. Then for web browser trusted ssl certificates you switch follow - How to switch self-signed SSL certificate to paid SSL certificate ?.

    Method 2. Using and testing Centmin Mod 123.09beta01's new addons/acmetool.sh addon which is still in beta testing only for integrating Letsencrypt SSL certificates. And has both auto and manual methods.

    Method 3. Fully manual method for free Letsencrypt SSL certificates for existing non-HTTPS Nginx vhost sites migration to HTTPS as outlined at Migrating Existing Nginx Vhost From HTTP to HTTP/2 based HTTPS With Letsencrypt SSL Certificates

    Do you have CloudFlare? It's a good and largely free CDN - and they offer free SSL too!

    Anyway, I hope I can jump in here a little bit and learn something on the way. I am in a similar position, have a fresh VPS, installed Centmin, did a PHP7, and did a 22 to install Wordpress (I plugin free wordpress would be nice though). I changed the theme and on webpagetest.org I am in the range 1.5-3sec, similar on Pingdom. I consider that OK, but similar to what I get on shared webspace.

    I did no other Centmin fiddling after that.

    My question is, what Centmin setups/tweaks are useful to increase performance?

    (I have to admit that the amount of information here is overwhelming and I simple look for one or two simple tweaks that can make the site load a little bit faster, even though at this point it ain't too bad.)

    @DerGelbe ;

    if you dont use any WP plugin you dont have to do much thing to increase your WP performance because it should be fast enough already :)

    if you have many pictures on your WP i highly suggest you to obtain CDN Service. I can't recommend any CDN service because i havent try any of it. i built my own CDN network and i can say it is realy make your website fast.

    I'm trying out Cloudflare for DNS + Wordpress KeyCDN Cache Enabler + CDN Enabler with Cloudfront + PageSpeed
    :cool:

    I think maybe some sort of cache maybe can help a bit. I also did some JPEG improvements (compressing and make them progressive). Cloudflare helps a lot (I think), since I use Cloudflare already I will not go for KeyCDN (it's not free anyway).

    Here are the slow bits:
    First byte in
    Slow fonts.gstatic.com
    Adsense (of course!)

    I mean, I don't count milliseconds, anything below 2-3 Sec is fine.

    I just did another test with US servers with my EU VPS: (no adsense and no google fonts, 4 WP images)

    1.24sec - webpagetest.org (0.63 test via DE)
    1.39sec - tools.pingdom.com (0.85 test via SE)
    1.30sec - gtmetrix.com

    This are really good numbers. Seems to depend on time of day, server mood and weather too. I mean the times fluctuate quite a bit.

    Does PageSpeed makes a difference? It needs V1.2.3-Eva2000.09 beta though, right?

    Yes I use cloudflare for every project (if not the CDN, DNS at least), and I know about their flexible SSL.

    To increase performance:

    1) Minimise asset payload (remove uncessary css/js by modifying theme, optimize image)
    2) static page caching , you can cache to tmpfs (memory) for better performance
    3) use cdn for assets.

    I'm looking for some Centmin speed tips. At WordPress I will look later. So far I have just a test site setup. My production sizes are still on shared hosting.

    Centmin Mod base LEMP stack is optimised out of the box for server hardware/specs detected. Any further web app (wordpress) specific optimisations are left to end user :) i.e. cdn etc

    Hmm..interesting. Does CMM auto optimize when I upgrade my VPS (resize Linode with more RAM, CPU, etc) or do I need to do a fresh install for it to detect this?

    not for everything it doesn't on vps resizes as some folks might have already done custom changes to their configs and would like to keep their custom settings and not want Centmin Mod messing with them all the time :)

    I guess when it comes time for a server upgrade I will have no issue with installing from scratch again.
    It's good for experience...maybe this time I won't have ANY problems (...IPv6 config) :ROFLMAO::LOL:

    You should eventually experiment with tweaking values. Tools such as mysqltuner will provide some hints. It doesn't make sense to reinstall on every upgrade, especially if you are able to 'just' upsize on the fly..
