Performance Levels are additional settings for the PHP version of your web hosting. They allow you to adjust PHP's memory limit to respond to changing web project requirements, such as increased traffic.
This article explains how to use Performance Levels in IONOS WordPress products. Details on the different WordPress variants can be found in this Help Center article.
Performance Levels in Hosting for WordPress and Managed Hosting for WordPress
For WordPress hosting plans purchased on or after September 27, 2022, the performance level is fixed to the corresponding plan:
| Start | Grow | Boost | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Level | 3 | 4 | 5 |
An individual adjustment of these performance levels is not possible.
Please Note
WooCommerce Hosting, an IONOS online store solution based on WordPress, uses Performance Level 5.
Performance Levels with Hosting for WordPress
This section applies if you are using an IONOS hosting package with WordPress installed through the IONOS App Store or an official installation package in your webspace.
Performance Levels are available to you in all web hosting plans that were ordered on or after March 22, 2017, or changed your package after that date. Details about this can be found in the article Web Hosting Performance Levels - FAQ.
With shared hosting WordPress, the performance level can be adjusted regardless of the package you are using. You can find out how to do this in the article Changing Your Performance Level.
For older web hosting plans, the article PHP Script Limits in IONOS Web Hosting Packages lists the value of MEMORY_LIMIT, MAX_EXECUTION_TIME and NPROC.
