  2. Ignore/Strip Cookies for Varnish

    Our WordPress setup sets multiple cookies (from WordPress itself, Google Analytics, CloudFlare, and Third-Party Ad Networks), so every page request after the first will have cookies in the request headers. Because of those headers, Varnish considers it a "Miss" in the cache and passes through to the back end.

    We need a way to be able to tell Varnish which cookies to strip for the sake of caching; on our previous dedicated server setup, we simply stripped the Google Analytics and WordPress (non-login) cookies, and that increased caching significantly.

  3. Let two-factor authentication remember your computer for 30 days

    Glad to have two-factor authentication, but it's a huge hassle to use every time I have to log in -- especially since the system automatically logs me out after such a short period of inactivity (an hour maybe?).

    Please add a "Remember this computer for 30 days" option -- the exact same way Google does it -- so that we only have to do the two-factor auth (on a known computer) once a month.

  4. ImageMagick extension for PHP

    Since installing Google PageSpeed module is not an option on Cloudways server, I will have to optimize images manually (through my coding). Can we have ImageMagick installed?

  5. Allow choosing between PageCache (Phoenix) and Turpentine (NEXCESS)

    The existing Varnish module PageCache has many unsolved issues compared to the highly maintained Turpentine extension. Using Turpentine won't work because it needs custom VCL. It would be great to allow to choose between both solution through Click&Go interface for a better Varnish support.

    For new servers (Debian 8), Turpentine is the default cache extension we use. It is installed by default on base Magento deployments. This KB explains how to install it if you overwrite our base deployment:
    https://support.cloudways.com/how-to-install-and-configure-turpentine-for-magento/

    Given the possible issues, we have decided not to automatically update the old Magento deployments (Debian 7). You can migrate your store to a new Debian 8 server if you want to use turpentine (please check all site functionality before taking it live).

    Contact support in case of any doubt/question.

  7. Have a client login feature for a single application

    At the moment additional users have access to the whole server and all apps. It would be nice to allow clients to have access to only their application so they can manage the db, cron jobs etc.

    We are moving sites from cPanel and some of the more techie clients expect this.

  8. Improve Cron job feature

    use the actual cron job in a php project is not secure.

    We need to add the php file in the public_html folder (not secure)
    We can't set an argument to prevent hacker to launch many time the file (not secure)
    We can't use something in the URL like xxxx.php?pwd=yyyy (not secure, same problem than previously)

    Will you make something in these case ?

    You can already control post_max_size via the “Upload Size” item that you have in Server Settings.

    This sets to whatever value you define the following parameters:

    php
    upload_max_filesize
    post_max_size

    nginx
    client_max_body_size

  10. Exclude pages or URL's from Varnish

    I would like to suggest having the option to exclude certain pages or URL's from Varnish. Most of the time Varnish is great, but in some instances it can cause issues. One particular instance right now is a very typical Wordpress + WooCommerce setup where Varnish causes the site to not save items to the cart. I did heaps of testing and it's directly a Varnish issue.

    However it would be great to keep Varnish on parts of the site where it doesn't conflict, because the performance gains are fantastic. Would be a great addition to the console.

    Cheers'

  11. Alphabatize Server List in Dropdown

    Please alphabetize the server drop down list found at the top of the screen when viewing the details of a server. This drop down list makes it easy to move from server to server, but it is unnecessarily complicated by having to hunt through the list for what you need.

  12. get support/make it easy to open a livechat window

    I'm trialling your stuff as of yesterday and I feel locked out of support. There's a problem with my php settings being inadequate for my woocommerce store but I don't know where to fix it. I'd really just like contact to ask that question but I've been trying for an hour already and getting nowhere.

    Q - would I do the following via your site?
    Woocommerce Visual Products Configurator:
    Your PHP setting maxfileuploads is currently set to 20. We recommand to set this value at least to 100 to avoid any issue with our plugin.
    Your PHP setting…

  17. Clone from one server to another multiple times (change user on clone)

    When you clone an app from one server to another, it keeps the same Unix/Linux user and MySQL database name, user and password. Thus, if you clone an app from one server to another, you can't repeat the process later, unless you delete the 1st clone.

    We like to start with a base WP template app and another for WooCommerce. Then each time we start a new project we clone one of those templates to the server it's going to run on. Unfortunately after we do it from the server where the template resides to a new server, one time,…

  20. Automatic Scaling

    Would be nice if we had an auto scaling feature where the server would automatically upgrade to the next level in the event a site is posted on a news site or all of a sudden got a rush of traffic.

    Example the server load is 85% the system knows to upgrade. The downtime for an upgrade on Amazon is about 5-10 mins. That's better than having your site down for an hour because the server is overloaded.

    Kyup is now live from Cloudways. Automated scaling up is available. Scaling down is not automated by now, but we are working with Kyup to make it a reality asap.
