WordPress in production

Share this post on:

WordPress should not expose warnings and other verbose data in production. On earth, so many configurations such as multiple revisions are not used in such a depth in most cases. So many of obsessive configurations may slow WordPress down.

We change configuration of WordPress only from wp-config.php so we can have a backup of original configuration and this file can act simply as a restore point to discard all changes in case of any trouble.

Don’t change core files. If there is a critical update, contribute to the WordPress project’s repository. If you have some common optional configurations, add it to a plugin. Respect the project modularity.

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
define( 'WP_POST_REVISIONS', 2 );
define( 'EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS',  2 );
define( 'AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL', 180 ); // 3 mins
define( 'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true );
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '1024M' );

ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
define( 'WP_DISABLE_FATAL_ERROR_HANDLER',true );
