How much server does this WordPress site need?
Guessing at "how big a plan" is how sites end up overpaying or falling over at peak. Enter real traffic and caching numbers and we'll estimate the CPU, RAM and PHP workers needed — then match an xCloud plan.
Estimates for a typical dynamic WordPress site — real needs vary with theme, page weight and traffic spikes. Uploads dominate storage; PHP workers and DB load are driven by the uncached share of peak traffic. See the full plan ladder →
How it works
- 1Enter real traffic, cache hit rate, plugin count and media size.
- 2We estimate the uncached peak load and size the vCPU, RAM, PHP workers and DB queries needed.
- 3We match the smallest xCloud plan that clears the need and compare it to what you pay now.
Frequently asked
How accurate are the estimates?
They're transparent approximations for a typical dynamic WordPress site — good enough to land on the right plan, not a load test. Real needs vary with theme and traffic spikes.
Why does the cache hit rate matter so much?
A cached page serves without running PHP or MySQL, so a high hit rate slashes the CPU and RAM a site actually needs at peak.
What if I undersize?
At peak the site queues requests and slows or errors. The safety headroom in the estimate is there to avoid that — round up if in doubt.
