We show how agencies prevent one unpatched client brochure site or shared Redis instance from cross-contaminating 25 retainer stores — using per-vhost Linux users and salted Redis DB indexes. (WPVelocity Modeled Targets: 56 ms (Isolated LVE) • 1.3s Modeled LCP • 84 ms Modeled INP).
WPVelocity Engineering Note: Placing 25 client WordPress installs under one shared Linux account (`www-data`) lets a single vulnerable plugin compromise every sibling domain — and pointing two sites at Redis database `0` without `WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT` overwrites `alloptions`, leaking menus and redirects across client domains!
Under our WPVelocity queueing equations, unoptimized defaults push dynamic origin responses toward 780 ms (Noisy Pool) under concurrent load.

define('WP_REDIS_DATABASE', 3); // Assign distinct DB 0..15 or ACL prefix per site

wp plugin list --status=active --format=table --allow-rootSet a globally unique WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT and separate Redis DB index in wp-config.php BEFORE enabling any object cache drop-in.
wp cache flush --allow-root && redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock info memoryEnforce DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT=true across every client install so compromised editor logins cannot write PHP shells.
