izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 20:11:42 GMT

CloudLinux now supports cgroup v2 on CloudLinux 8, 9, 10, and Ubuntu 22. New installations of CloudLinux 10 following this release will use cgroup v2 by default. On all other versions, cgroup v1 remains the default, and you can switch to v2 when you're ready.

From a day-to-day operations standpoint, practically nothing changes. Your LVE limits, control panel interface, and resource monitoring all continue to work the same way.

MAx Cache Stable Release: 3x Faster WordPress Page Loads on Apache and Nginx

izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:59:59 GMT

MAx Cache is now generally available as part of CloudLinux subscriptions at no additional cost. After testing in beta, both the Apache and Nginx modules are now production-ready.

MAx Cache is a pair of native web server modules that serve cached WordPress pages directly from Apache or Nginx, without running PHP. Hosting providers deploy it at the server level. Site owners enable it through the AccelerateWP plugin in WordPress. If you followed the beta, the workflow is the same. If you're hearing about MAx Cache for the first time, read on.

Introducing .htaccess Caching in MAx Cache: 20% Faster Apache Page Loads

izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:15:29 GMT

Hosting servers with Apache can now handle 18% more traffic with 20% faster response times, without any configuration changes. Today we're announcing the beta release of .htaccess cache, a new feature in MAx Cache that compiles .htaccess files into memory, eliminating the per-request disk I/O that slows down every page load on a server.

This new feature builds on the MAx Cache for Apache module we released in December 2025 and the MAx Cache for Nginx module that followed in early 2026. If you already run MAx Cache for Apache, you get .htaccess caching with a single package update. No new packages, no new configuration.

This release also adds CloudLinux 10 support across the entire MAx Cache stack: Apache module, Nginx module, and .htaccess caching..

Per-Site PHP Selector Now Available in Beta: Phase 2 of CloudLinux Isolates

izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 12:45:30 GMT

In January, we launched the beta of Per-Site CageFS Isolates as the first phase of our CloudLinux Isolates project, introducing file system isolation between websites within the same hosting account.

Today, we're delivering Phase 2 with two significant additions: Per-Site PHP Selector, which lets each isolated website run its own PHP version and extensions, and a new self-service activation model that gives hosting providers granular control over who can use Isolates and lets end users manage isolation for their own domains.

MAx Cache Now Available for Nginx: Server-Level WordPress Caching, Completely Bypassing PHP

izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 14:27:55 GMT

In December 2025, we released MAx Cache for Apache, a native module that serves cached WordPress pages directly from the web server without invoking PHP. Today, we're bringing that same capability to Nginx with a purpose-built module that delivers even greater performance gains than the Apache version.

MAx Cache for Nginx works alongside AccelerateWP: hosting providers deploy it at the server level, and site owners enable it through the AccelerateWP plugin in WordPress.

Introducing MAx Cache (Beta): Apache Module for Accelerating WordPress Performance

izhmud@cloudlinux.com (Ivan Zhmud) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 17:23:30 GMT

At CloudLinux, we're committed to building performance solutions that help hosting providers run websites faster and more efficiently. As part of our AccelerateWP performance optimization solution, we're excited to announce the beta release of MAx Cache. It's an Apache module that changes how WordPress sites handle requests by running PHP only on cache misses, while cached pages for subsequent requests are served by Apache without invoking PHP. The result: significantly faster page load times.
