Building A Better WP-Config File For Better WordPress Performance

The wp-config.php file is one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, components of a WordPress installation. While a default file provides basic connectivity, it rarely addresses the specific requirements for high-performance or high-security environments.

In this virtual technical workshop, we will move beyond the default installation to explore how to architect a more robust configuration. We will perform a live demonstration comparing a standard file against an optimized blueprint designed for stability and resilience.

Technical Workshop Highlights:

• Configuration Baselines: Identifying the minimum required changes for various environments (Development vs. Production) and the technical reasoning behind them.
• Security Hardening: Implementing constants to prevent unauthorized file editing, managing security keys, and enforcing SSL at the administrative level.
• Operational Control: Mastering update management and defining how your site handles core, plugin, and theme updates to avoid infrastructure breakage.
• Performance and Debugging: Tuning memory limits and utilizing advanced debugging constants to identify bottlenecks before they impact the end-user experience.

Who Should Attend? This session is designed for WordPress developers and site administrators who want to move away from "out-of-the-box" settings and take professional-grade control over their site’s core configuration.

Virtual Event Details This is a live online workshop featuring a deep-dive code review. Attendees are encouraged to have a copy of their current wp-config.php file (with sensitive credentials removed) to follow along with the technical evaluations.
