A dedicated WordPress infrastructure engineered for speed, stability, and real-world traffic — deployed on your own server, with full ownership of your data.

Most WordPress performance problems are not caused by WordPress itself. They come from shared hosting, limited PHP workers, no real page cache, overloaded databases, and stacks that collapse under concurrency.

Plugins can’t fix that. Infrastructure can.

What We Offer

We deploy a high-performance, self-hosted WordPress platform on a dedicated server you control — on Hetzner or any other provider. You choose where the server is located and what configuration it has — depending on your expected load and performance needs.

Available Regions

We work with Hetzner cloud data centers:

Europe Germany & Finland
North America USA East & West
Asia Singapore

Server Configurations

2 vCPU / 4 GB RAM Basic business sites
4 vCPU / 8 GB RAM Medium traffic & WooCommerce
8 vCPU / 16 GB RAM High concurrency
16+ vCPU / 32+ GB RAM Heavy production workloads

You own the server and all your data — this is self-hosted, not SaaS. Server cost is paid directly to Hetzner (starts from €3.49/month). Our service covers deployment, configuration, optimization, and support.

The Technology Stack

Each component is selected for production-grade performance under real traffic conditions.

Caddy — Modern Web Server

HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support with efficient TLS handling. Minimal overhead between client and application.

Impact: 10–30% lower connection latency. Faster initial page response on mobile and long-distance connections.

Varnish — Full-Page HTTP Cache

Serves cached HTML directly from memory. Bypasses PHP and database for guest traffic. Safe cache rules for WordPress and WooCommerce.

Impact: 10×–40× faster response times. 90–99% reduction in PHP/database load for guest traffic.

FrankenPHP — High-Concurrency Runtime

Embedded PHP execution model. Eliminates PHP-FPM process bottlenecks. Handles high parallel load efficiently.

Impact: 3×–7× higher request throughput. 60–85% lower latency during traffic spikes.

Percona Server for MySQL

Improved concurrency and reliability. Better behavior under load. Drop-in replacement for MySQL.

Impact: 5–15% better throughput. More predictable query performance under sustained load.

Why Varnish Is Different From Cache Plugins

WordPress cache plugins operate inside WordPress. Even when a page is cached, the request still enters the application stack before serving.

Varnish works outside WordPress, at the HTTP layer:

  • Requests are handled before PHP is executed
  • WordPress and the database are completely bypassed
  • No PHP workers are consumed for guest traffic

Result: Pages served in milliseconds instead of seconds, even under heavy load.

We maintain a live demonstration site with 10,000 WooCommerce products to show how the platform performs under real-world conditions — highperformancewp.zenrepublic.agency. The site runs on a self-hosted Hetzner 3 vCPU / 4 GB RAM server using the same stack we deploy for clients — no custom code, no shortcuts, just properly engineered infrastructure.
