Nginx Web Server
Every XeroWP site is powered by a high-performance Nginx web server, tuned specifically for WordPress — handling static assets and traffic spikes with speed and reliability.
- Event-driven architecture
- HTTP/2 enabled
- NVMe SSD storage
Speed that holds up under real traffic
Nginx is the same web server trusted by some of the busiest sites on the internet — now tuned for every XeroWP-hosted site.
Built for Concurrency
Nginx's event-driven architecture handles many simultaneous visitors efficiently, keeping your site responsive during traffic spikes.
Fast Static Asset Delivery
Images, CSS, and JavaScript are served directly by Nginx, freeing up PHP-FPM to focus on rendering your actual WordPress pages.
HTTP/2 Support
Every site is served over HTTP/2, multiplexing requests over a single connection for faster page loads, especially on media-heavy pages.
Paired with NVMe SSD Storage
Nginx sits on top of fast NVMe SSD storage, so both your database queries and static file reads benefit from low-latency disk I/O.
How a request reaches your site
Nginx terminates incoming HTTPS traffic and serves static files directly.
Dynamic WordPress requests are passed to a dedicated PHP-FPM pool inside your container.
A server-level firewall restricts inbound traffic to HTTP, HTTPS, and SFTP only.
wp-login.php is rate-limited to block credential-stuffing and brute-force attempts before they reach WordPress.
Hardened by default — the same firewall and rate-limiting rules protect every site behind Nginx.
Common questions about performance
No. Every site is served by a fully managed, pre-tuned Nginx configuration optimized for WordPress — there is nothing for you to set up.
Yes. All sites are served over HTTP/2 by default, which multiplexes multiple requests over a single connection for faster page loads.
Nginx's event-driven model handles concurrent connections more efficiently than traditional process- or thread-based servers, which is well suited to WordPress sites with lots of static assets and simultaneous visitors.
Nginx works alongside our Docker-based infrastructure and optimized caching to keep pages fast — combined with CDN integration for sites that need it.
