Server config — Webmin, Nginx, VPS hardening

When your site is already optimized on the front end but still slow, the server is the bottleneck. Most Thai SMEs are on cheap shared hosting that throttles everything; moving to properly-configured managed hosting often fixes more SEO issues than any front-end work.

• Time to First Byte (TTFB) over 800ms

  Google's threshold is under 200ms

• Pages slow even with caching

  server can't serve cached pages fast enough

• Site goes down during traffic spikes

  promo email lands and the site crashes

• Frequent "service unavailable" errors

  server is overloaded

• No SSL automation

  your certificate expires and traffic goes to zero overnight

• Database queries slow

  your hosting provider shares the database server with 200 other sites

• Email from your domain lands in spam

  your IP is on shared blacklists

• No CDN

  international visitors load every asset from Thailand-only origin

Server work usually pairs with WordPress development (matching the application to the server profile), virus removal (post-incident hardening), and e-commerce development for traffic-heavy stores.

• SEO ranking drops

  Core Web Vitals (server response, LCP) are direct ranking factors

• Lost sales during peak

  site down during a Facebook ad campaign = wasted ad spend + lost orders

• Slow international experience

  without CDN, your hotel site loads slowly for European bookers

• Email deliverability damage

  shared IP reputation hurts your transactional emails

• Manual SSL renewal risk

  one missed renewal = domain warnings, traffic loss, ranking drops

• Server audit

  current setup analyzed: hosting type, configuration, load profile, security

• Migration to managed hosting

  Cloudways, Kinsta, WPEngine, or local Thai provider — chosen for your scale

• Nginx/LiteSpeed tuning

  proper PHP-FPM, OPcache, object cache configured

• Database optimisation

  query indexing, table cleanup, MySQL/MariaDB tuning

• CDN setup

  Cloudflare or Bunny.net configured properly (not just plug-and-play)

• Automated SSL

  Let's Encrypt with auto-renewal, no manual cert management

• Uptime monitoring

  alerts if site goes down, 5-minute response SLA available

• Email infrastructure

  SPF, DKIM, DMARC + dedicated sending IP for transactional mail
