In December 2025, we released MAx Cache for Apache, a native module that serves cached WordPress pages directly from the web server without invoking PHP. Today, we're bringing that same capability to Nginx with a purpose-built module that delivers even greater performance gains than the Apache version.

MAx Cache for Nginx works alongside AccelerateWP: hosting providers deploy it at the server level, and site owners enable it through the AccelerateWP plugin in WordPress.

The VPS hosting market is booming, projected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to $14.1 billion by 2033, but there's a troubling reality behind these impressive numbers: profit margins are under siege.

Updated February 26, 2026: This article has been updated to reflect changes introduced in Phase 2 of CloudLinux Isolates. Key changes: --site-isolation-allow command has been renamed to --site-isolation-allow-all; end users can now enable isolation for their own domains (previously admin-only). See the Phase 2 announcement for full details.

The CloudLinux gradual rollout slot 6 for the package kernel-4.18.0-553.89.1.lve was paused due to potential bug reported with this kernel.

At CloudLinux, we're committed to building performance solutions that help hosting providers run websites faster and more efficiently. As part of our AccelerateWP performance optimization solution, we're excited to announce the beta release of MAx Cache. It's an Apache module that changes how WordPress sites handle requests by running PHP only on cache misses, while cached pages for subsequent requests are served by Apache without invoking PHP. The result: significantly faster page load times.

Changes to core infrastructure can raise understandable questions, especially around compatibility and operational impact. That's why we are writing this post today.

The CloudLinux gradual rollout slot 9 for the package cloudlinux-release-9.7-1 was paused due to suspected compatibility issues between the LVE module and the newly released upstream kernel 5.14.0-611.9.1.el9_7.

CloudLinux is implementing a pricing adjustment for CloudLinux OS Legacy licenses. Beginning January 1, 2026, pricing will increase by 5% per server, per month.
