I'll try to clarify each point as best I can:
- W3 Total Cache with Memcached – If you're using a managed VPS, shared hosting, or dedicated server, then your hosting provider's support team will usually take care of installing and configuring Memcached for you. If your server is unmanaged, then you'll have to install and configure it yourself (or hire a sysadmin to do it). It depends entirely on the type of hosting you have.
- CDN vs Memcached (W3 Total Cache) – A CDN and server-side caching like Memcached are two completely different things. A CDN (like Bunny, Cloudflare, etc.) delivers static content (like images, videos, and cached HTML) from edge locations closer to the user, which reduces load on your server. However, when a CDN doesn't have a specific file or page cached (miss), the request goes to your server. That's when Memcached (or similar server-side caching) becomes important – it helps your server deliver the content quickly and with minimal resource usage. So yes, you can (and should) use both – they complement each other.
- WP-Script usage – I do have a WP-Script license, but I only use their plugin with a custom theme I developed myself. That's completely valid. There’s nothing wrong with using their tools, especially if you customize and optimize properly.
- Security concerns with WP-Script – I'm not exactly sure what specific security issues you're referring to. In general, if your server, WordPress, themes, and plugins are all properly configured, kept up to date, and you're following good practices (firewall, WAF, limited access, etc.), you shouldn’t have major security problems. Vulnerabilities often come from poor configuration or outdated software.
- Best WP-Script theme? – WP-Script is actually a plugin suite, not a single theme. If you're asking about their themes, they’re all fairly basic in terms of design and features. None of them are particularly "amazing," but they work fine. Just pick the one you like best visually. Personally, I recommend going for something as lightweight and simple as possible – it's better for SEO and for user experience.
- Custom CMS / Headless CMS vs WP-Script / KVS – I’m not exactly sure what you're referring to here either. CMS detector tools may show that top sites use custom stacks (like Nginx/OpenResty with PHP, Django, Laravel, etc.), and some do use headless CMS setups. These are more advanced, custom-built solutions tailored for scale and performance. I’m not currently using a headless CMS, nor am I migrating to one. Comparing WP-Script to KVS or to a headless CMS is tricky—they serve different purposes. KVS is more of a full-blown video CMS; WP-Script is lightweight and more flexible if you know what you're doing. Headless setups give you more control and performance at scale, but require more technical expertise.
Hope that helps clarify things!
W3 Total Cache with Memcached:
So most probably I choose my VPS provider as Zadeserver; they don't advertise that they're managed, but they said they helped. Let's see what feedback they give about it.
And for video CDN/volume, maybe Advancedhosting or here also Zade, but either way, it's Zade's job, right, because they provide VPS.
CDN vs Memcached (W3 Total Cache):
So Memcached reduces file egress storage loss, right? How much is it 2X percentage reduce it?
WP-Script usage:
Which WP-Script plugin do you love to use? What type of benefit do you get from it?
This plugin's tools, coding, and customizing and optimizing parts are the big concern where I stop to go with KVS because they are too expensive for all of these features, and you can't work with outside developers because it's encrypted PHP code.
Security concerns with WP-Script:
I don't, but it's popular talk that WordPress themes are hacked and easily catch malware, so any tips to avoid facing it?
Best WP-Script theme:
WP-Script admin told me to go with RetroTube, saying it's best for customization.
I saw a top-ranked website use UltimaTube, and even in the upper section of the thread, this member also uses it:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/w...seo-impact-alternatives.1733103/post-19612622 - He said he feels Feel is one of the better, more stable WP-Script themes.
And I liked Famoustube too now that you say something.
Custom CMS / Headless CMS vs. WP-Script / KVS:
So what do you think goes with -
i) WP-Script + Any reliable, affordable DEV. [It's evident WP-Script handles 100k-200k visitors.]. If I grow big, then I will switch to a custom solution.
ii) KVS Basic [The concern is how it helps with SEO; any plugin or coding charges too much unnecessarily.]
iii) Not sure Fluid Player is free, so is it possible to create a simple aesthetic script in an affordable way on it?
iv) If you know any?
Ok, I check your profile and find you're the one who gave me master URL SEO tips. I'm just finding out about that page, and you come up coincidentally with another banger tip. You're truly a genius in this field. Thank you so much.
If you don't mind, can I DM you? I want to learn a few more things from you. You're not a regular BHW member; you come very often, maybe 2-3 times in a month.
Thank you so much once again!
