What is PHP-FPM and why does it make WordPress faster?

PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) manages a pool of PHP worker processes that handle website requests. Instead of spawning a new PHP process for every request (like older CGI), PHP-FPM keeps processes alive and ready, dramatically reducing response time. On Connect Quest hosting with LiteSpeed + PHP-FPM, WordPress pages load 3-5x faster than on traditional Apache+mod_php setups. Configure pm.max_children based on available RAM: divide PHP-available RAM by average process size (usually 50-80 MB). For a 4 GB VPS reserving 1 GB for OS and MySQL, max_children = 3000/70 = ~42 processes. Visit connectquest.co.in to get LiteSpeed hosting with PHP-FPM pre-configured.
