  1. Performance Optimization for NBI Clearance and Similar High-Traffic Platforms

    Websites handling services like NBI Clearance often face heavy traffic during application and verification periods. It would be helpful if Cloudways could offer more automated performance tools like smart caching, load balancing, or traffic spike handling to keep these platforms running smoothly.

    For example, users going through the NBI process (as explained here https://nbiclear.ph/
    ) rely on fast loading and stable systems to complete forms and payments without issues. Improving these features would enhance reliability for similar high-demand service platforms.

  2. Unlock 200 Characters Limit When Setting Header Rules in the Web Rules UI

    Currently, we cannot fully migrate our existing Content Security Policy because it exceeds 200 characters. The policy we intend to implement is over 600 characters long. While we could use a plugin to achieve this, adding one solely for this purpose would be redundant. This limitation is blocking our transition from a Hybrid Stack to a Lightning Stack.

  3. Optimization for Government Service Websites

    Hi Cloudways Team,

    It would be great if Cloudways could introduce a performance optimization profile specifically for government and public service websites. These sites focus more on speed, structured content, and reliability rather than heavy design.

    For example, platforms like https://thepifra.pk/ provide important service information where fast loading and stable performance are essential.

    A lightweight optimization preset for informational and status-check type websites would really help developers in this space.

    Thanks for the great work!

  4. How to Optimize Website pages without paid plug-ins?

    I'm looking for practical ways to optimize website pages without relying on paid plug-ins or expensive SEO tools.

    So far, I've been focusing on image compression, internal linking, page speed improvements, unique meta titles, optimized headings, and mobile responsiveness. I've noticed that even small technical improvements can make a noticeable difference in user experience and organic visibility.

    For example, while reviewing pages like https://nbiclearancce.com/nbi-clearance-requirements/, I found that well-structured content, clear headings, and easy navigation can often provide more value than installing multiple premium plug-ins.

    What free optimization techniques have worked best for you? Are there any underrated methods for…

  5. Hosting Needs for NBI Clearance Information Websites

    Websites that provide NBI Clearance information and verification guidance often face high traffic during peak periods. For such platforms, fast speed, uptime, and scalability are very important.

    A site like https://onlinenbiclearance.ph/
    needs reliable cloud hosting to ensure smooth performance and a good user experience. Cloud-based solutions can help manage traffic spikes and keep pages loading fast.

    It would be great to see more hosting optimizations for public service and verification-related websites.

  6. Allow customers to create Cloudflare cache/CDN exclusions

    Elementor is the most popular page builder for WordPress. There is a common problem with Elementor where automatic updates cause CSS to be regenerated but this is not detected by caching tools. This leads to the website displaying incorrectly until the cache is cleared.

    Here are some posts on this topic:
    https://www.reddit.com/r/elementor/comments/1gv0ou2/i_love_elementor_and_i_highly_recommend_it/
    https://www.reddit.com/r/elementor/comments/ejhftq/site_keeps_losing_css/

    A good solution to this problem is to exclude a specific directory from caching: /wp-content/uploads/elementor/css/

    This is not currently possible on Autonomous because you are using Cloudflare Enterprise CDN and there are no options in Cloudways for us to customise the configuration.

    Please add some features for…

  7. Separate memory limit setting for admin users vs regular visitors

    Can you add a separate memory limit for admin users in the PHP Settings tab? I have sites that use lots of custom post types &. fields. Admin users typically run into performance issues when working in the back end.

    I hate to increase memory for everyone and I am afraid to do anything custom in wp-config because I don't want to break anything.

    If I could specify a larger memory for logged in admins like:

    if ( currentusercan( 'administrator' ) ) {
    define( 'WPMEMORYLIMIT', '256M' ); // Higher limit for admins
    } else {
    define(…

  8. Custom Cloudflare Rules and Optimization Settings

    Having Custom Cloudflare Rules and Optimization Settings would be critical to help provide exceptions or tweaks to rules so as to not break our websites since your default cloudflare settings may conflict with our websites.

  9. Do not disclose server versions in error messages

    The version of Apache (Debian) server is disclosed in when attempting to browse to a WordPress endpoint as an unauthenticated user on our web application.

    The message reads:

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access this resource.
    Apache/2.4.63 (Debian) Server at [domain] Port 80

    An attacker could use the information provided to attempt to identify vulnerabilities with the application.

    We recommend you prevent the server version from being disclosed in error messages.

  10. allow granular local backups

    Of course I use Cloudways off site back ups but I also need local back ups. Currently the only option for local backups is server level on / off - so all apps or none. I don't want a local backup of all my apps because 1) many apps are testing or staging and 2) backing up all my apps would kill my 40GB hard disk space. The option to take a local backup of one app should be in the UI, or at least in the API.

  11. Incremental option for staging management on Autonomous

    Please add incremental option to staging management on Autonomous. It would be much faster than all or nothing.

    This option is available for Flexible staging to live arrangements. It should also be available for Autonomous servers.

  14. I suggest you improve the onboarding and documentation experience for new users.

    Cloudways already offers powerful hosting solutions, but adding more beginner-friendly tutorials, real-world use cases, and short step-by-step guides would make it even easier for non-technical users to get started. Interactive walkthroughs inside the dashboard and clearer explanations for features like server scaling, backups, and security settings could greatly improve the overall user experience.

  16. create an SFTP or SSH user when creating a new app

    If I create a new app, the folder is called (for example) qjhywtryen the database name is qjhywtryen, the database user is called qjhywtryen, the owner of the files is qjhywtryen - but there is no default SFTP / SSH user - and so I need to create a new SFTP or SSH user and password manually in the UI for every app = tedious. You can't do much with no SFTP or SSH user so why not have an option to create a new SFTP or SSH user when creating a new php app? Or just automatically create this…

  17. Autonomous - have a good solution for spam form submissions

    We are getting spam submissions on our gravity forms. We have a checkbox captcha but it's not stopping them. We have gravity forms zero spam that's classifying them well but we really need to block them at the source. Normally, with a VPS or Cloudways Flexible, I can create some WAF rules via Cloudflare that are very effective, but I can't do that with Autonmous. Plus, cleantalk is not a good solution as once it misclassified a bunch of valid submissions as spam costing a client of mine alot of money, and I've actually lost them as a client because…

  18. Introduce an Autonomous Optimization Layer for Real-Time Performance, Caching, and Security Enhancements.

    Cloudways should introduce an autonomous optimization layer that intelligently adjusts server performance, caching behavior, and security configurations in real time. This enhancement would improve speed, stability, and protection by reducing the need for manual tuning. Overall, such adaptive automation would deliver a more efficient, reliable, and enterprise-grade hosting experience for all users.

  19. Show more applications in the autonomous application list

    When using the compact list view of applications inside the autonomous dashboard only 5 applications are show on each page. When using the bigger card view, 8 cards is shown even thou there is clearly room for 9 (3 on each row).
    Increase the number of apps shown on each page or allow us to choose number of apps on each page or implement infinite scroll of the applications.

  20. Offer options of malware notifications. Most are false positives created by secure link (copy pasting) and comment spam.

    Offer options of malware notifications. Most are false positives created by secure link (copy pasting) and comment spam. Why do I get malware notifications for unseen comment spam, or if a client copy pastes from outlook? Fix it please. I may start billing you for my time wasted on such trivial emails.
