Cloudways Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Picking the Wrong Server Size
❌ 間違い: Starting with a Large server when you only have a small website or blog post site.
✅ 右: Start with the Micro or Small hosting plan and scale your server size as your site grows.
Mistake #2: Ignoring Server-Level Caching
❌ 間違い: Relying only on a WordPress caching plugin without enabling Varnish in server settings.
✅ 右: Enable Varnish cache first, then add the Breeze plugin for a cost effective performance boost.
Mistake #3: Skipping Automated Backups
❌ 間違い: Assuming your data is safe without setting up daily automated backups in application settings.
✅ 右: Turn on daily automated backups from the Backup tab so you never lose your content.
Cloudways Troubleshooting
Problem: Website loading slowly
原因： Varnish cache or Cloudflare CDN is not enabled on your server.
修理： Enable Varnish from server settings, install the Breeze plugin, and activate Cloudflare Enterprise for improved site speed.
Problem: Cannot access WordPress admin panel
原因： Your admin panel URL was changed or your IP is blocked by the firewall.
修理： Check your access details in the Cloudways dashboard and whitelist your IP in the firewall settings.
Problem: SSL certificate not working
原因： The SSL was not properly activated or your domain DNS has not propagated yet.
修理： Go to application settings, reissue the SSL certificate, and wait up to 24 hours for DNS propagation.
📌 注記： If none of these fix your issue, contact Cloudways support for personalized assistance.
