# 🪐 orbit-host-cloudways — Cloudways compat Cloudways is a managed-but-flexible host — DigitalOcean / Vultr / Linode + their stack on top. More flexibility than WPE/Kinsta, more responsibility on the user. --- ## What this skill checks ### 1. Breeze plugin (Cloudways' default caching) Customers usually have Breeze installed by default. Conflicts arise when: - Your plugin sets its own `Cache-Control` headers Breeze ignores - Your plugin caches object data Breeze expects to clear ### 2. Object Cache Pro (paid add-on) If the customer pays for OCP, Redis is persistent + reliable. Without it, no object cache at all on default plans. ### 3. Varnish (server-level cache) Cloudways stack uses Varnish in front of Apache/NGINX. Same cookie rules — non-WP cookies bust the cache for all visitors. ```vcl # Cloudways' default Varnish config respects: # - Cookies starting with wp_, wordpress_, comment_author_ # - Cache exclusion via DONOTCACHEPAGE constant ``` ```php // Trigger Varnish bypass for a specific request if ( my_plugin_needs_fresh_data() ) { if ( ! defined( 'DONOTCACHEPAGE' ) ) define( 'DONOTCACHEPAGE', true ); } ``` ### 4. SSH access (yes) Customers can SSH in via Cloudways portal. Your plugin's WP-CLI commands work fine. ### 5. PHP version (configurable per server) Cloudways supports PHP 7.4 / 8.0 / 8.1 / 8.2 / 8.3. Customer changes via Cloudways portal. ### 6. Server stack Default: NGINX-only. Older sites on Apache + NGINX hybrid. .htaccess works on Apache but not
