    1. Introduction

    WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that allows you to host and build websites. WordPress contains plugin architecture and a template and many more features. Nowadays, WordPress plays an important role in enhancing business because websites can be built through WordPress with the drag/drop feature available in plugins such as Elementor, WPBakery, etc. The designers, bloggers, and developers are moving to WordPress in order to make their work smooth and reliable.

    The WordPress sites can be optimized through custom plugin development. It can boost the performance of the sites through already-developed plugins such as LiteSpeed cache, WPRocket, etc. One of the important factors that WordPress has is that it stores the content of the post or page in a database except for multimedia files etc, so it’ll also boost the performance because the content will fetch from the database through multiple SQL queries.

    The migration of WordPress from one hosting provider to another or one server to another is very easy if we exclude the operating system dependencies. If your WordPress site is using the default extension of PHP and Apache/Nginx Web server then migration will be easy, you just have to make a backup of your WordPress folder and database then follow the steps given below in the new server, after replacing the new WordPress folder with the backup folder and new database with the backup database.

    apt install apache2 unzip wget curl mariadb-client mariadb-server
    
    apt install sudo nano -y 
    
    sudo apt install -y lsb-release ca-certificates apt-transport-https software-properties-common gnupg2 -y 
    
    echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sury-php.list 
    
    wget -qO - https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
