In the rapidly evolving web hosting world, Apache remains one of the top server choices due to its flexibility, power, and widespread use. While many opt for Nginx for PHP processing, Apache users can also achieve excellent PHP performance through PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) and mod_proxy_fcgi, a module that provides a seamless integration with PHP-FPM. When properly configured, this setup can offer significant improvements in resource efficiency and response times, which is crucial for high-traffic websites. PHP-FPM is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation that has additional features useful for sites of any size, especially high-load sites. It's incredibly efficient in serving PHP pages compared to traditional CGI models.
