Stop paying $18–$29/mo second-year renewals on legacy Apache shared cages lacking APAC PoPs or Redis sockets. Follow our WPVelocity zero-downtime DNS cutover sequence. (WPVelocity Modeled Targets: 54 ms (LiteSpeed Edge) • 1.2s Modeled LCP • 72 ms Modeled INP).
WPVelocity Engineering Note: Many legacy conglomerate hosts advertise low first-year promos that renew at 3x to 4x the introductory rate while running older Apache process models without Unix-socket Redis or Singapore/Tokyo PoPs. Migrating to NVMe LiteSpeed or Price-Lock KVM lowers ongoing TCO and trims origin response latency.
Under our WPVelocity queueing equations, unoptimized defaults push dynamic origin responses toward 1,190 ms (Legacy Apache) under concurrent load.
# 1. 24h prior: lower DNS A-record TTL to 60–300 seconds
# 2. Verify migrated store locally via /etc/hosts BEFORE switching public DNS:
198.51.100.42 store.yourdomain.tld www.store.yourdomain.tld
# 3. Confirm LiteSpeed LSCache header hit via curl --resolve:
curl -I --resolve store.yourdomain.tld:443:198.51.100.42 https://store.yourdomain.tldDrop DNS A/AAAA TTL to 60–300 seconds 24 hours ahead so resolver caches expire almost immediately on cutover.
