**Hosting:**
Either Gridpane or Runcloud using a Vultr HF and MariaDB for the database
**Caching:**
Nginx FastCGI Cache + Redis
**DNS/Caching/Bots/Security:**
Cloudflare free + Super Page Cache for Cloudflare,
This will cache pages and assets, I’ll use cloudflare rules to do a browser check on every login page to eliminate all bot attempts and eliminate a few countries from even reaching the server.
**On WordPress:**
Use few but performant plugins, always keep things up to date.
Anything missing?

What are you using for site security, like login protection?
/u/bluesix what do you think?
I would suggest using relay.so for your php redis client. SERIOUS performance gains
Make sure you are using PHP Opcache module and deny xmlrpc.php requests in Nginx, I’m always amazed at the amount of bots I see on Nginx logs trying to poke my site there.
