I recently launched two online stores that are built on WordPress/Woocommerce platforms. The first website, 800adventures.com.au, is targeted towards CF Moto 800MT owners. This website is hosted on AWS Lightsail and uses Lightsail’s Proxy CDN to cache images and static files with recommended settings for WordPress dynamic websites. It achieves a score of A on GTMetrix.
The second website, getpunnyshirts.com, offers both self-designed and reseller T-shirts. While this website currently has lower sales than 800 Adventures, it is hosted on my home network due to its lower traffic volume. To improve its performance, I am using a proxy on Lightsail with a public IP, which runs a dockerised installation of Nginx configured as a forward proxy with SSL certificates for the domain. The traffic is forwarded via a Zerotier VPN PtP network to my home Proxmox cluster that hosts the web server. Unfortunately, due to the time it takes to receive the first byte, the website only achieves an F on GTMetrix. However, the bandwidth is sufficient for low traffic.
