this is my personal opinion using slickstack, im was your sponsor and join your discord, your discord is amazing, a lot of knowledge i got from your discord with humble and loyalties member.

but this is my honest review after months using your work.

i already got headache from my site, it slow because had 100k posts and make mysql very high cpu intensive resources using slickstack, every optimization i did, i already give you suggestions to change or give user options using mariadb or mysql, nginx or openlitespeed or using mariadb + openlitespeed + nginx reverse proxy like i did for this month and i glad for the improvement, i got more visitor and more pageviews 2-4 times, like 200++ percents grow, with capable using 2 or more domains installed! wow. you can check my stats below, im very glad for this improvements with only 10 dollars hosting with large amount of posts with capable with 2 or more domain or wordpress installed, not just wordpress, but every cms that i wanted to install

slickstack is the best secure system, but it lack options, and lack of performance for my opinion and for my case. thank you so much for your work, i hope your system more grow up for the future

i hove

If you’re going to post metrics and criticize SlickStack, at least be honest about your website… it’s not 100k posts, it’s thousands of porn videos you are hosting on a shared CPU cloud server in Southeast Asia.

That should be the disclosure you include before everything else…

And for the (10th?) time, MariaDB has no relation with your overloaded CPU, it would not improve things at all. You throw all these terms around without much knowledge about what you are talking about unfortunately. MySQL is plenty robust, as is Nginx, for any type of high traffic scaling, picking and choosing which things you disclose about your website and then cherry picking random bits of technology doesn’t help anyone understand the causes or solutions to whatever performance issues you are having.

slickstack is the best secure system, but it lack options

This is a feature, not a bug, of SlickStack fyi

Litespeed faster than SlickStack / Nginx or not

That not critize, I tried to give suggestions for many options you can add to your amazing system, and that was just posts not host any videos. The videos was upload to free video hosting, I just embed it. I hope the future had any options for user that choose MySql or mariadb, add nginx reverse proxy is a good too just my opinion, please, I adore your system with simplicity and security, I don’t had any thoughts for critize your amazing work, I got some security breached, I just give suggestions to you for add more options to choose for user installations. Thank you for your reply, just an input from a newbie user

I got some security breached after I don’t using slickstack, openlitespeed very lack security than your advanced technology

Again, and this conversation has been going on for months now:

1. SlickStack is a self-contained LEMP stack for WordPress sites, it supports remote database servers but has never been meant as some complex load balancing software, if you want reverse proxy or load balancing, probably SlickStack is not the best choice and wouldn’t really make sense to use for that.

2.MariaDB is not any faster than MySQL, at least not in any significant way, especially when running WordPress servers.

It’s very unlikely your database is the bottleneck. You’re trying to put a massive porn website on a shared CPU cloud server, which is probably undergoing all kinds of bot attacks and otherwise. MariaDB or proxy_pass are not the quick solutions you think they are, most likely you need more CPU power and better Cloudflare/cache/firewall rules if you want to run a LEMP stack like SlickStack.

The reason OLS probably performs better out-of-the-box for you is because of LS Cache, which is an output cache like Varnish, which can often “hide” performance issues with your WordPress theme, bot attacks, or whatever else is going on.

SlickStack does not support Varnish.
