What is PHP-FPM?
PHP FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM) is a FastCGI Implementation for heavily loaded PHP websites. It helps a website to handle high loads with some additional features in it. PHP-FPM is faster than the other traditional CGI-based methods. It is an improved PHP-handler with a pool of workers to process PHP scripts quickly. It has strategic caching that provides faster loading time during unexpected traffic.
Steps to Enable PHP-FPM for a domain:
To enable PHP-FPM, you must log in as a root user. This feature is available for VPS and dedicated server users. Resellers can contact your hosting provider to know whether PHP-FPM is enabled for your domain. Let us discuss the steps to enable PHP-FPM for a particular domain in WHM panel.
