Live Demo
This website demonstrates the High-Performance WordPress Platform running on a self-hosted, dedicated server with 10,000 WooCommerce products.
Most WordPress performance problems are not caused by WordPress itself. They come from shared hosting, limited PHP workers, no real page cache, overloaded databases, and stacks that collapse under concurrency. This demo proves what happens when infrastructure is engineered correctly.
The Technology Stack
Varnish Full-Page Cache
Operates at HTTP layer, outside WordPress. Cached HTML served directly from memory, bypassing PHP and database completely.
- 10×–40× faster response times
- 90–99% less PHP/DB load
- Requests handled before PHP executes
FrankenPHP Runtime
Embedded PHP execution eliminates PHP-FPM bottlenecks, delivering massive performance gains under load.
- 3×–7× higher throughput
- 60–85% lower latency
- Handles traffic spikes gracefully
Caddy Web Server
Modern web server with automatic HTTPS, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support.
- 10–30% lower connection latency
- Faster mobile responses
Percona + Redis
Enhanced MySQL with Redis object caching for improved database performance.
- 5–15% better DB throughput
- Reduced database load
Cache Management Tools
Chrome Extension
Monitor cache status in real-time from your browser. See HIT/MISS status, cache age, performance timing (TTFB, DOM, Load). One-click purge. Stale cookie detection.
WordPress Plugin
Admin bar shows cache status on every page. One-click purge for page or entire site. Auto-invalidation when content is published or updated.
Advanced Cache Configuration
- Bot filtering — Detect and handle bot traffic separately
- Selective bypass — Exclude logged-in users, cart, checkout
- Custom TTLs — Different cache durations per content type
- Grace mode — Serve stale content while refreshing
What This Demo Proves
This site runs standard WordPress + WooCommerce with no artificial shortcuts:
- 10,000 real products
- Dynamic database queries
- Full page generation on cache miss
- Concurrent traffic handling
Performance comes from infrastructure design, not plugins. Fully self-hosted on dedicated server.
Performance Under Load — Real Numbers
A single page load can look fast on any site. The real test is concurrent traffic — what happens when 10, 50, or 100 users hit your site simultaneously. This is where most WordPress sites collapse.
We ran identical tests: 100 requests with 10 concurrent connections over 30 seconds.

What This Means For Your Users
- 8.4× more requests handled per second
- 8.4× lower latency (115ms vs 968ms)
- 8.4× more pages served in same time
- Consistent speed — p99 only 116ms vs 2,076ms
- No degradation under concurrent load
- More headroom for traffic spikes
On a typical optimized WordPress site, the first visitor gets a fast page. But when 10 people browse simultaneously, response times spike to 1-2 seconds. During a sale, product launch, or viral moment — the site becomes unusable or crashes entirely.
With proper infrastructure, every visitor gets the same fast experience — whether they are alone or one of thousands.
