Here are some steps to use PHP performance settings on Drupal 8:
1. Access PHP configuration file: To access the PHP configuration file, locate the php.ini file in your server’s file system. You can use commands like php —ini or locate php.ini to find the file.
1. Modify PHP settings: Open the php.ini file in a text editor and modify the following PHP settings to improve performance:
- Increase PHP memory limit: Set the memory_limit directive to a higher value. For example, memory_limit = 512M.
- Enable OPcache: Enable the OPcache extension by setting the following directives:
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable\_cli=1
opcache.memory\_consumption=256
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=10000
opcache.revalidate\_freq=240
- Disable Xdebug: If you have Xdebug installed, disable it in production environments as it can significantly slow down your site.
1. Save changes: Save the changes made to the php.ini file and exit the text editor.
1. Restart web server: Restart your web server to apply the new PHP settings.
By using these steps, you can optimize the PHP performance settings on Drupal 8 and improve the overall performance of your website.
