Bolts are precisely tuned for performance, with optimized hardware, software, and network settings. Some Bolt settings may be more modest for PHP usage than other providers. Our PHP settings are perfectly optimized for most websites and applications, ensuring smooth and hassle-free performance.
In general, we don’t recommend changing these directives, as our Bolts are optimized for speed, and changes may affect the performance of your website. However, sometimes, you may need to modify a PHP directive due to WordPress plugin or theme requirements.
Remember that this will only change how PHP functions for visitors to your site. If you invoke PHP through any other means, e.g., SSH or cron jobs, default PHP directives will be used.
To view the current PHP Directives, create a new PHP file called 12345.php with the following content:
<?php
phpinfo(4);
?>Upload it to your website’s web root and visit the following page in a browser: example.com/12345.php.
Customising PHP Directives Using .user.ini
Head over to your ~/site/public directory. From there, you can modify PHP directives using the .user.ini file.
upload_max_filesize = 200M
post_max_size = 200M
max_input_vars = 2000
max_execution_time = 120Explanation:
- upload_max_filesize = 200M
- Sets the maximum upload file size to 200 megabytes.
- post_max_size = 200M
