High Traffic Server Settings on RHEL / AlmaLinux / Rocky / EuroLinux / CentOS 8

High Traffic Server Settings on RHEL / AlmaLinux / Rocky / EuroLinux / CentOS 8

I recently did some work to optimize the network configuration of an AlmaLinux 8 based web server that receives a lot of traffic.

Of course these settings also apply to RHEL / Rocky / EuroLinux / CentOS 8 (hereafter referred to as Linux 8.) I think these should also work on RHEL / AlmaLinux / Rocky / EuroLinux 9 as well but I have not yet tested them.

There is a lot of information on the web for this and it distills down to a minimum recommended configuration, and a recommended configuration.

The minimum recommended configuration should be sufficient for servers with less than 10Gb, and the recommended configuration should be sufficient for servers with 10Gb or more.

Wordpress Security for NginX
# wp-secure.conf
#
#
# This file includes common security considerations for wordpress using nginx.
#
# The goal is to block actions which are usually dangerous to wordpress.
# Additionally, we block direct access to PHP files and folders which should not
# be accessed directly from a browser.
#
# Also have included exceptions for plugins that are known to require this access.

NGINX tuning for best performance

NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.
