Performance Levels are additional PHP setting options for your webspace. They allow you to adjust PHP's memory limit and RAM in order to adapt to increasing website requirements, such as higher traffic.
This article informs you about the use of Performance Levels in IONOS WordPress packages. Details on the different WordPress packages can be found in this Help Centre article.
Performance Level for Hosting for WordPress and Managed Hosting for WordPress
For Hosting for WordPress packages purchased from September 27, 2022 onward, the Performance Level is permanently linked to the corresponding package:
Start package: Performance Level 3
Grow package: Performance Level 4
Boost package: Performance Level 5
Individual adjustment of these Performance Levels is not possible.
Note
WooCommerce Hosting, a IONOS online shop solution based on WordPress, uses Performance Level 5.
WordPress Performance Level in a shared hosting environment
This information is applicable if:
You are using a IONOS hosting package.
WordPress has been installed via the IONOS App Store or an official installation package in your webspace.
Performance Levels are available to you in all web hosting packages that were ordered from March 22, 2017, or were the target of a package change. You can find details on this in the Help Centre article "Performance Levels explained".
For WordPress in a shared hosting environment, the Performance Level can be adjusted independently of the package. The Help Centre article "Adjusting the PHP performance of your hosting package" explains how to do this.
For older web hosting packages, the Help Centre article "PHP script limits in older IONOS web hosting packages (up to March 22, 2017)" lists the value of MEMORY_LIMIT, MAX_EXECUTION_TIME, and NPROC.
