Optimized for WordPress
Seravo’s premium hosting and upkeep has been built from the ground up for WordPress. By migrating your site to Seravo, you’ll see how fast your site can be just by switching servers!
At Seravo, your site will be as fast as it can possibly be. The speed of our service is based on a highly optimized server environment designed and built specifically for WordPress.
Seravo has focused exclusively on WordPress hosting since 2014. With over a decade of experience, we offer the best home for your WordPress site. We carefully select what we install on our servers to keep our service as efficient and fast as possible!
Faster Than the Fastest
No Plugins Needed
At Seravo, your WordPress site won’t need separate speed-enhancing or caching plugins, nor a content distribution network; speed is integrated into our service. Our service handles the caching your site needs directly at the server level. When your WordPress site is hosted at Seravo, you don’t pay extra for caching – all performance-enhancing caching features are enabled by default on all sites. With efficient caching, your site will load up to ten times faster!
In standard WordPress installations, data is cached in the database as transient data. Seravo uses a separate object cache (Redis) to store this data in RAM, which makes our service’s WordPress sites run faster than usual. Redis is also enabled by default on all sites, so you don’t have to pay extra for cutting-edge performance.
Several Server Locations
Why would you send your website visitors and their data further than necessary? Seravo has server locations around the world: Finland, Sweden, Germany, USA and Singapore. Choose the server location that best suits your visitors!
All Seravo’s server rooms meet the requirements set by Traficom for telecommunications facilities. Our global servers are also located in data centers owned by trusted global operators with high security measures.
Make Your WordPress Optimized for Search Engines
Search engines love sites that load quickly. For search engine optimization (SEO), it’s important that your site is well optimized. That’s why Seravo wants to encourage and help you to make your site load as fast as possible. Our architecture and server-level optimizations give you the best environment for your WordPress site, which will improve your site’s ranking in search engine results.
For example, optimizing images is a good way to reduce the size of each page load and speed up your site. As part of our service, we offer built-in image optimization that can be set to run daily – without any plugin bloat. Seravo’s image optimization compresses all images, making your site load faster and making it more attractive to search engines as well as human visitors.
Designed and Built for WordPress
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS) for building websites, but by default it can be woefully slow. In terms of performance, it is paramount that a WordPress site is hosted in a server environment that is specifically optimized for it.
At Seravo, you’ll always find WordPress pre-installed – all you need to do is log in and start building and developing your site! The key to success is based on carefully selected technologies that are specifically suited to running WordPress and make it work in the best possible way.
MariaDB
The open source MariaDB is based on the MySQL database solution, but with improved and more versatile features – and of course speed. When comparing the two, MariaDB performs faster, and its scalability makes it an ideal choice for running WordPress. MariaDB is also secure, with an active community that investigates potential security vulnerabilities. These features have made MariaDB one of the most popular database solutions in the world.
Redis
By default, WordPress stores cacheable data as transients in the database. Sadly, these database queries can slow down any WordPress site. Seravo uses Redis object caching to store transients, which allows this data to be retrieved faster from random-access memory (RAM) instead of making slow database queries repeatedly. At Seravo, Redis is included in every plan – as our customer, you don’t pay extra for the best possible performance!
PHP
When the new version of PHP is released, we will make it available to all our customers as soon as possible. Using the latest PHP versions can get your WordPress site up and running many times faster than using an older version. We will never force your site to use a new version of PHP to prevent it from breaking and experiencing downtime. We will let you know if your site’s PHP version is about to become obsolete!
Nginx
Nginx is a powerful and versatile web server. Apache, which is commonly used for WordPress hosting, does not match the performance of the Nginx server. If you’ve only worked with Apache before, don’t worry – we’ll help you get started! At Seravo, you’ll find all the necessary configuration files so you can get started right away.
PCIe-SSD
We exclusively use powerful and fast solid-state drives (SSDs and PCIe SSDs) on our servers, which significantly improve performance compared to traditional hard disk drives.
Scalable Architecture and Fault-Tolerant WordPress
Seravo’s WordPress hosting service has a unique server architecture, in which sites are hosted in server clusters. This allows multiple servers to take care of our customers’ sites simultaneously, and the potential failure of one server does not affect site performance or availability.
This is the reason why Seravo customers’ domains have multiple IP addresses: if a single server goes down, another server can step in and continue serving the site to visitors without any interruption.
Thanks to Seravo’s architecture and carefully selected technologies, sites will not slow down even if traffic volumes increase significantly at times. Although a traffic limit is set for each plan, we will not shut down your WordPress site or send an additional bill to charge overages if a traffic spike is detected. We aim to keep your site up and running in all situations!
WordPress Is Popular, but Often Slow
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), as more than 40% of all websites in the world are powered by it! WordPress is open source and easy to use, which makes it attractive to new users. However, they are often disappointed to find that while cheap web hosting exists, they do not offer any help when a WordPress site slows down.
In conventional web hosting, WordPress is installed using cPanel or a similar tool, and is most often powered by Apache. Unfortunately, this commonly used solution is not ideal for WordPress with its heavy database queries and processes. If you’re looking to get your site up and running in the best way possible, you should choose Seravo – our hosting is designed for WordPress!
Cutting-Edge Performance
Seravo’s hosting is scalable, and your website will have access to additional resources when it needs them. A comparison published by Google employees at ismyhostfastyet.com confirms that Seravo customers’ sites load faster than competing WordPress hosting services. The study used TTFB (time-to-first-byte) data from real Chrome browser users.
According to this comparison, Seravo is the fastest WordPress provider in the world! Other top-ranked services do not host sites built with WordPress, but mainly static pages. Seravo has also received commendations for WooCommerce performance in international WordPress hosting benchmarks.
Experts on Your Side
In addition to a server environment optimized especially for WordPress, you’ll have the support of a whole team of WordPress experts. As an additional service, we hand-craft speed optimization for sites in our to ensure that even the most complex and heavyweight sites open to visitors as quickly as possible.
Many tools are used to analyze and optimize websites to speed them up. One of the most important tools is Tideways, which makes solving site’s performance bottlenecks a breeze.
We are constantly experimenting to improve the speed of WordPress sites. For example, we made our own site load 300% faster than before by using the transients cache.
