When this helps

Relevant problems this service is built for

PHP sites are slow, timing out or returning 502 errors

PHP-FPM workers use too much RAM or run out under load

Pool settings are copied from defaults and do not match the server

You need PHP performance tuning at server level, not just plugin tweaks

What we do

Focused work for php-fpm optimisation

PHP-FPM pool and process manager tuning

Slowlog, error log and timeout investigation

Memory and worker sizing based on real capacity

Nginx/Apache integration checks

What we check

Specific checks before changing production

pm mode, max_children, spare servers and memory per process

PHP slowlog, error log and timeout settings

OPcache settings and application workload

Nginx/Apache proxy/FastCGI configuration

Deliverables

What you get back

PHP-FPM pool, worker and timeout findings

Tuning or configuration changes where agreed

NGINX/PHP response checks after reloads/restarts

Recommendations for memory limits, process management and monitoring

FAQ

PHP-FPM Support FAQ

Common questions before starting fixed-scope infrastructure, automation or support work.

Can you troubleshoot production web stack issues?

Yes. We investigate web server, reverse proxy, SSL/TLS, cache, upstream, DNS and application runtime problems affecting live websites and services.

What details should we send for faster diagnosis?

Useful details include PHP-FPM pool config and PHP version, error logs, slow logs and high CPU/RAM symptoms, application involved and traffic pattern, plus when the issue started.

Can you help with 502 errors, redirects or SSL problems?

Yes. We can trace issues across the web server, upstream services, PHP-FPM, DNS, certificates, Cloudflare and application configuration.

Do you check rollback and downtime risk?

Yes. For production systems we confirm access, backups and change risk before making disruptive configuration changes.

How much does this work usually cost?

PHP-FPM support usually starts from $499 for performance or production issues.

After the fix

Reduce the chance of the same issue returning.

After a fixed-scope issue is resolved, we can also help with monitoring, backups, restore testing, security hardening or ongoing infrastructure support where it makes sense.
