Ubuntu webserver (LAMP) for google (sad story)
Let me tell you a little story...
My server has always been a small LAMP based on ubuntu, and first there was varnish, and everything was quite nice... then https and no more varnish... With varnish gone, visits to my websites from search engines (Google) were greatly affected, I tried to compensate by optimizing the server... Memcached, Apcu, Opchache, mod_headers mod_expires in htaccess, and cache in web page headers. My sites have become very light, very fast, wonderfully usable, my website pages instantly appeared out of nowhere in a magical poof! But visits and earnings have collapsed, at the worst moment $30 a month... I blamed the search engine, not my perfectly and wonderfully configured little server... Then one day something happened, I had to completely reinstall a new server, and given the few results and earnings I didn't want to start reconfiguring a perfect server... I put a LAMP online without too many pretensions, and without any cache.. . And visits from search engines have returned... and with them earnings in a few months have gone from $30 a month to $1500-2000 a month at the best time, now around $6-700 a month... But the doubt has always remained, basically I just removed the caches, now my websites are slower and heavier, but somehow google likes them more now... Is there anything else I can do on my server to make google like my websites, even if it goes against all obvious and reasonable logic? Has anyone else unfortunately had stories like mine and perhaps discovered other optimizations or configurations on Ubuntu servers (or LAMP in general) that annoy Google? |

Hi
You can see details with a SEO checker. There are lots of them - some online, like this one: https://pagespeed.web.dev/ The report is long, but you can click for explanation. The SEO score is used for page ranking. They don't see your backend, but the time for responses is important. |

My response time is unfortunately high when Google scans thousands of pages in a day, low on days of normal operation, the cause is the few server resources, but I can't buy more resources, because with the visits that he sends me I don't I earn enough... One of the stupidest things google does... it comes into my server hundreds of thousands of times to scan all my pages at once and overloads my server, so its scans show that my websites are slow. .. I've tested my websites thousands of times to make sure I'm up to date with the March updates and the introduction of nip, and the other day Google took away 90% of my visits... |

Regardless, your main complaint seems to be with Google. Have you actually tried to CONTACT Google about this?? |

Probably in any version or in any server if I were to reinstall all the caches, Google would take away all the visits again... CONTACT Google? :D:D:D:D:D:D |

Hi alebalweb,
A cache is used to speed up your machine's delivery of webpages. I assume that you know that the server's resources - such as a machine that runs on a hard disk drive vs. an SSD - the SSD machine will potentially respond faster. If there are differences between the machines you are running your server on - the differences in hardware could in fact be making a difference in the delivery time. So, it is hard to tell if just removing a cache versus having better hardware is the situation that is contributing to your dilemma. - 6th |
