The Speed Difference: NVMe vs. Traditional SSDs #
Traditional Solid State Drives (SSDs) were a major upgrade from hard disk drives (HDDs). However, NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a protocol that allows storage to communicate directly with the CPU via the PCIe bus.
-
Benefit: This drastically reduces latency and boosts read/write speeds by up to 3x faster than traditional SSDs.
-
Result for You: Faster database queries, quicker file access for your application (WordPress, eCommerce), and overall blazing page load times.
Optimizing Your Application for NVMe Speed #
The high performance of NVMe benefits all applications, but you can maximize the boost by:
-
Database Optimization: Regularly clean and optimize your databases (tools available in cPanel).
-
Caching: Ensure you are using a modern caching solution (e.g., LiteSpeed Cache) to minimize repeated database calls.
Disk Space and Resource Reliability #
All CyberWAF plans include Unlimited NVMe SSD Disk Space. This means you never have to worry about running out of storage for your files, backups, or databases, allowing you to focus purely on content and growth.
