Server & Hosting

Server Optimization Switzerland
Faster response times. More stability.

The best code is useless on a poorly configured server. I optimize web servers and PHP for maximum performance of your website.

The Problem

Why your server is slow

Slow Response

The TTFB (Time to First Byte) is too high – the server takes too long to respond before the page even loads.

500 Errors

During traffic spikes the website crashes. PHP limits or memory issues overload the server.

Resource Hog

The server consumes a lot of CPU and RAM even though the website does not have much traffic. Inefficient configuration.

No Idea

You do not know whether Apache, Nginx, PHP or MySQL is the problem. Without analysis you are in the dark.

Server & Hosting Optimization

From analysis to implementation – for measurably better performance.

Vincent Kilchherr - Server-Optimierung Schweiz

PHP Developer with Linux Experience

As a developer I know how applications interact with servers. I do not just configure web servers, I also understand why certain settings make a performance difference.

From Apache/Nginx configuration to PHP-FPM tuning and Redis caching: I analyze your setup and implement targeted optimizations.

  • Apache & Nginx Configuration
  • PHP-FPM & OPcache Tuning
  • Redis, Varnish & CDN Setup
Webserver Tuning

Apache & Nginx optimally configured

The web server is the gateway to your application. Properly configured it delivers pages lightning-fast and can handle more requests.

  • HTTP/2 – Parallel requests for faster loading
  • Gzip/Brotli – Compression for smaller transfers
  • Keep-Alive – Use connections efficiently
  • Security Headers – HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options

PHP & Database

PHP-FPM and MySQL Tuning

PHP and MySQL are often the bottlenecks. With the right settings they process requests faster and consume fewer resources.

  • PHP-FPM – Optimal worker configuration
  • OPcache – Cache PHP bytecode
  • MySQL Tuning – Buffer, Query Cache, Indexes
  • PHP 8.x – Upgrade to current version

Caching & CDN

Lightning-fast delivery

Caching reduces server load and massively accelerates delivery. A CDN brings your content closer to users.

  • Redis/Memcached – Object caching for PHP
  • Varnish – Full-Page Cache
  • CDN Setup – Cloudflare, Bunny, etc.
  • Browser Caching – Optimal cache headers
Cloud CDN Infrastructure
Benefits

Why server optimization is worth it

Faster Website

Shorter response times=better user experience and higher conversion.

More Capacity

The server can handle more visitors without problems or crashes.

More Security

Hardened configuration and current software protect against attacks.

Lower Costs

More efficient resource usage can reduce hosting costs.

2

Concept

Action plan with priorities and expected improvements.

3

Implementation

Test optimizations on staging then deploy to production.

4

Verification

Before-after measurement and documentation of improvements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Server Optimization

Basic settings yes, but real performance gains require experience. Wrong configuration can lead to outages or security vulnerabilities. I take care of that and document all changes.

With shared hosting the possibilities are limited since you do not have root access. But I can optimize .htaccess, PHP settings and caching. For maximum performance I recommend a VPS or dedicated server.

It depends on the current state. Typically we achieve 30-70% shorter response times. For very poorly configured servers even larger improvements are possible.

For most measures, no. I schedule critical changes like web server migrations at low-traffic times and test on a staging environment first.

Yes, I offer maintenance contracts with regular updates, security patches and performance monitoring. This keeps your server fast and secure in the long term.

I work with all common hosting providers: Hostpoint, Cyon, Infomaniak, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, AWS and others. With root access I can optimize the most.
