How to Optimize Apache

There are many methods on how to optimize apache. It could be on the software side, but upgrading the hardware also makes a difference. 

The first thing in optimizing apache is to upgrade the hardware.  We can optimize Apache with the following.


First is to check the type of motherboard of your computer with Apache installed. Newer CPU's mean faster and efficient performance in Apache. Second, RAM "Random Access Memory" should be considered because it processes the speed of an application.  Lower memory could give you a lot of very long load times in Apache. Lastly, take note of the type of hard disk that you have.  When a hard disk is almost full, the performance of your computer will lag due to insufficient space because virtual memory relies on your hard disk's space.  The RPM of a hard disk is the transfer speed of your hard disk. Meaning the higher that your hard disk has, the faster it can transfer the files needed from one location to another.

The next step is to optimize the performance of our Apache Server. First, make sure that the computer  only performs as an Apache server.  Performing additional tasks on the computer will slow down the performance of your Apache Server. Also, minimize the number of applications in your computer. Many applications installed to your server will also deteriorate performance. Also, scan and prevent viruses, spyware, malware, worms, etc. from infecting your computer by installing a firewall, antivirus, and a spyware remover. Lastly, optimize Apache by balancing your Dynamic and Static websites.  Static sites load faster because they require fewer resources, while Dynamic sites require more resources due to its complicated functionalities and content.

Take note that even these little suggestions could greatly affect the performance of the entire Apache system.
