To optimize your server and application on Cloudways, you should allocate the appropriate amount of memory without using the maximum limit. This approach ensures that other services running on your server have sufficient resources. The memory allocation could be 1024MB, 2048MB, 4096MB, or more, depending on your chosen plan.

- Application Setup — Check out this example and for additional information, see how to change PHP FPM settings.
When adjusting your PHP FPM settings in Applications, remove the semicolon “;” at the beginning of each line. This action will uncomment the lines, applying your settings changes.
Execution Limit
This only needs to be adjusted temporarily to run the installation & setup wizard for Real Estate 7 — set the “Execution Limit” to 9999. Remember to revert it to the default value after the setup to ensure optimal server performance.
Upload Size
We recommend setting the maximum upload size to 100MB. This size is sufficient to upload large files, such as videos or high-resolution images — adjust this limit as needed.
Memory Limit
- 1GB Server: Allocate up to 512MB for PHP. This ensures sufficient memory for PHP scripts and reserves half of the server’s RAM for other services.
- 2GB Server: Allocate up to 1024MB (1GB) for PHP. Providing up to half of your server’s memory to PHP allows your applications more flexibility while keeping an equal amount for other processes.
- 4GB Server: Allocate up to 2048MB (2GB) for PHP. This setting supports more demanding applications and traffic, while still maintaining half of your server’s resources for other necessary services.
