    Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n

    1. Introduction: The Stresses of Cumbersome Host Troubleshooting for WordPress\/WooCommerce<\/h2>\n

    If you have ever had a client reach out in the middle of the night because their site has crashed\u2014and you\u2019re forced to frantically SSH into the server trying to figure out why MySQL just stopped responding\u2014you know the pain of WordPress troubleshooting, especially when under pressure.<\/p>\n

    As an agency managing tens or even hundreds of sites, <\/b>for example, reactive troubleshooting can be such a headache<\/b>. Website developers end up wasting endless hours researching server issues online<\/b>. Think of the endless deep dives into your hosts\u2019 documentation and help guides, the endless Google searches, and the time and effort it takes, just to find the correct solution\u2014a generic one that will fit enough to your custom setup.<\/p>\n

    The fact of the matter is, manual server monitoring and troubleshooting does not scale<\/b>. You can easily lose hours and hours<\/b> diagnosing something that turns out to be a rogue plugin, your servers\u2019 disk filling up, or even a misconfigured cache, e.t.c.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, after finally figuring out what the actual issue was, you now develop a persistent anxiety that the generic fix you Googled for hours, may not stick.<\/b> As an SMB managing multiple clients\u2019 sites, you deserve much better<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    The truth is, no matter how experienced you are, managing server health across numerous websites can feel like juggling flaming swords<\/b>. Even more, while monitoring tools tell you something\u2019s wrong, they rarely tell you how to fix it<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    That\u2019s where Cloudways CoPilot<\/a> quietly changes the game<\/b>. In this article, we\u2019ll show you how you can overcome all these issues with a relatively simple<\/b>\u2014yet very intelligent<\/b>\u2014solution<\/b>: Cloudways CoPilot.<\/p>\n

    \"Introducing
    Introducing Cloudways CoPilot, the next-gen solution for all your #WordPressServer<\/a> troubleshooting needs. Source: Cloudways CoPilot\/Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Moreover, we\u2019ll show you how you can leverage it to ease your host troubleshooting work<\/b>, keep a 24\/7 eye on your WordPress\/WooCommerce server<\/b>, and get quick solutions for server issues<\/b>\u2014any time of the day, at the snap of a finger.<\/p>\n

    With Cloudways CoPilot, you get deep insights into your custom setup, and you\u2019ll know the what, where, when, and most importantly: how to fix it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot<\/a> may be the solution you are looking for, and I promise you it is not just another server monitoring tool; it is much more than that<\/b>\u2014a hands-on collaborative troubleshooting assistant that could change the way you handle #ServerTroubleshooting<\/a> for life\u2014at the fraction of the cost of hiring a DevOp Engineer<\/b>!<\/p>\n

    2. Introducing Cloudways CoPilot: The New Tool That Could Be a Game-Changer for Web Server Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n

    What is Cloudways CoPilot?<\/h3>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot<\/b><\/a> is an AI-powered server monitoring and troubleshooting assistant that constantly keeps an eye on your websites\u2019 critical components<\/b>, detects issues as they happen<\/b>, and provides speedy, actionable resolution steps<\/b>\u2014with specific code fixes.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot is included in all Cloudways Flexible plans<\/a><\/b>, and is essentially the same as having a DevOps engineer monitoring your WordPress or WooCommerce server 24\/7!<\/p>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot stands out in that it identifies issues before they lead to downtime<\/b>, suggesting fixes, and even providing snippets of code that could work as a solution to the identified issues\u2014instead of just giving you basic ambiguous alerts.<\/p>\n

    Where other monitoring tools just point out the haystack\u2014where the proverbial needle (issue, in our case) may be,\u00a0 #CloudwaysCoPilot<\/a> will point out the needle, tell you more about which haystack it could be in, and give you step-by-step suggestions on how to fish it out.<\/p>\n

    CoPilot is always on and always working for you and your web stack. It is built as a 24\/7 automated issue detection and resolution guidance tool; and it works out of the box<\/b>\u2014no fancy complicated configs, just an ON button and you\u2019re set. No more sleepless nights and, thankfully, your web stack will be in good hands.<\/p>\n

    \"Owner
    I couldn’t have said it better! Cloudways CoPilot could be the intelligent assistant that streamlines your host troubleshooting workflow, at a fraction of what it’d cost to hire a DevOp engineer. Source: Cloudways on LinkedIn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    I knew that Cloudways has been working on an intelligent #TroubleshootingAssistant<\/a> and on using CoPilot, it feels less like a monitoring tool and more like having a DevOps engineer on call 24\/7<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    CoPilot uses intelligent automation<\/b>\u2014think an AI-powered troubleshooting partner\u2014that watches your servers in real time<\/b>, spots problems before they bring your site down<\/b>, and on top of notifying you, walks you through digested, well put-out fixes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    What is Cloudways CoPilot SmartFix?<\/h4>\n

    Cloudways have even gone a step further and introduced CoPilot \u2018SmartFix\u2019 which provides one-click fixes for common server issues<\/b>. For instance, your agency website could have maxed out its Varnish cache memory. With CoPilot, you\u2019d only need to use a SmartFix<\/b>\u2014such as rebooting your server\u2014to clear out the cache<\/b>. Moreover, CoPilot will also suggest that you upgrade your server, or just your disk size, to avoid the issue recurring in the future.<\/p>\n

    Why It Matters: My Real-World Experience Using Cloudways CoPilot to Troubleshoot WordPress Server Issues<\/h3>\n

    Instead of just being pinged with a red alert, Cloudways CoPilot explains why something is awry, where it is happening, and how to fix it<\/b>\u2014saving you frantic trips to Stack Overflow or the developer documentation rabbit hole. Imagine all the searches and AI Overviews you\u2019d have gone through; just to know that you could simply clear Varnish just by rebooting your server.<\/p>\n

    Furthermore, Cloudways servers are super kitted-out<\/b>. On the server dashboard, Cloudways even provide you with a \u2018Purge Varnish<\/i>\u2019 button\u2026 Imagine that!<\/p>\n

    No SSH-ing into your server to \u2018ls -l<\/i>\u2019 finding your varnish service name and then trying endless \u2018systemctl restart varnish<\/i>\u2019 or \u2018systemctl restart varnishd<\/i>\u2019\u2026 ???<\/p>\n

    Forget that, a one-click button and you\u2019re done<\/b>. Simple.<\/p>\n

    In the real-world, CoPilot makes such a huge difference<\/b>\u2014it doesn\u2019t just tell you there is smoke; it clearly indicates which wire is burning, where the fire started, and how to put it out<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    In our example above, that would be something like: Varnish is maxing out due to concurrent traffic on site X\u2014one of your clients\u2019 sites\u2014and since you\u2019re running tens of these sites, their endless cron jobs are piling on to Varnish\u2019s usable memory; as cron jobs (by default) run on each user visit, and are causing Varnish to be overstretched.<\/p>\n

    \"How
    How Varnish server-side caching works. On Lightning Stack, Varnish can be super-powerful in terms of reducing latency and increasing the efficiency of handling dynamic requests. However, if configured wrongly, you could end up having issues and not knowing what’s to blame… that’s why Cloudways CoPilot is such a powerful tool. CoPilot can see deep into your stack, and in just a few seconds, be able to tell what’s causing issues on your server.\u00a0 Source: Cloudflare.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    CoPilot would then suggest that you reboot the server or use a \u2018Purge Varnish<\/i>\u2019 SmartFix<\/i>. The intelligent assistant also goes further and shows you how to set up a system cron to offload the cron jobs<\/b>, and their being triggered on each new user visit.<\/p>\n

    Once you try that out and still face issues, CoPilot will remember what steps you\u2019d taken<\/b>, and suggest increasing your disk size, or even something like activating the RabbitMQ<\/b> and ElasticSearch add-ons<\/b>\u2014to ensure they share the burden with Varnish during high concurrent usage.<\/p>\n

    \"How
    How RabbitMQ Works. RabbitMQ queues WordPress tasks for linear processing, ensuring that these tasks do not overwhelm the database. Source: CAMQ.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    RabbitMQ and ElasticSearch Add-Ons on Cloudways\u2019 Servers<\/h4>\n

    RabbitMQ<\/b> is a queueing add-on that will queue messages and deliver them sequentially<\/b>\u2014one after the other\u2014for processing. As such, the DB won\u2019t be bombarded by thousands of requests all at once<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    ElasticSearch<\/b>, ES, on the other hand, creates an index of all the posts, options, and objects in the DB, and turboboosts searches<\/b>\u2014by fetching them from the index instead of the WP database.<\/p>\n

    In effect, if you\u2019re running a WooCommerce store\u2014or even a LearnDash LMS\u2014searches from the database won\u2019t lag the entire stack<\/b> and Varnish won\u2019t be left to try and cache things that ES or RabbitMQ would have easily handled.<\/p>\n

    Redis Pro Object Caching<\/h4>\n

    Additionally, all Cloudways servers come with Redis Pro Object Caching<\/b>\u2014the Pro plan of the plugin, offered completely for free\u2014which handles caching for database objects<\/b>. Therefore, any recurring DB requests will be served from the cache on subsequent requests<\/b>\u2014and there won\u2019t be a need for the data to be queried from the DB each time.<\/p>\n

    Why CoPilot is Much More Than Just an \u2018AI Tool\u2019 or \u2018AI Assistant\u2019<\/h3>\n

    CoPilot is much more than just another \u2018AI\u2019 tool or AI assistant\u2014it\u2019s a troubleshooting Swiss penknife for almost any server issue you may encounter<\/b>. CoPilot excels in its intelligence and accuracy\u2026 and it only gets better the more you use and interact with it\u2014and it remembers. No more background AI model switches while you\u2019re trying to get an issue sorted<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    A good way to put what it\u2019s like using Cloudways CoPilot is that: it is like having a second pair of eyes that are always awake, always keeping an eye on your stack, and always a step ahead<\/b>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Personally, I found its ability to recall past issues (and fixes) super helpful, as was its consistency<\/b>. Once you\u2019re working together to troubleshoot an issue, CoPilot will stick with you all the way, and adjust dynamically to the morphing situation<\/b>. It\u2019s like having the Cloudways documentation open, pre-searched, and already pointing to your particular problem<\/b>\u2014only this time, a befitting solution and how to apply it are included<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    3. Cloudways CoPilot Applications & Use Cases Copilot Covers<\/h2>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot<\/a> comes in handy in numerous situations, and the intelligent hands-on assistant is suited to the following applications and use cases.<\/p>\n

    Server Performance Issues:<\/h3>\n

    File Permissions Issues<\/h4>\n

    Ever had persistent server problems that just won\u2019t go away?<\/b> Maybe it is file permission issues<\/b>, and you are unable to update or upload plugins<\/b>; maybe your CPU keeps maxing out on you<\/b>, especially when you need it\u2014and there are a lot of concurrent users trying to make purchases on your e-commerce store. Cloudways CoPilot is specifically designed to deal with these and many other web stack performance problems<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    With its useful set of capabilities, CoPilot is suited to helping you deal with any server performance issues you may have<\/b>, i.e., with Apache, Nginx\u2014and even MySQL optimization\u2014by not only pointing out the likely cause of the issue, but also getting you specific and custom troubleshooting fixes<\/b>\u2014that will suit your web stack.<\/p>\n

    High CPU Usage and Memory Consumption Issues<\/h4>\n

    Beyond the issues with file permissions and memory mentioned above, CoPilot can help you also with High CPU usage and memory consumption issues<\/b>. For instance, maybe you have a plugin that keeps downloading huge 20+GB backups locally to your server\u2019s storage.<\/p>\n

    \"Why
    When you see huge fluctuations\/spikes in your CPU usage, it signals that it is time to upgrade your servers to the more powerful Cloudways CPU-Optimized droplets<\/a>. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    With CoPilot, you will be able to point out the specific plugin, the logic\/code it uses to do (and store) the backups<\/b>, and CoPilot will also suggest code modifications\/SmartFixes to stop the plugin<\/b> from keeping any\u2014or numerous\u2014backups on your server\u2019s disk and filling up storage.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways\u2019 Extensive Features that Help Ease Server Troubleshooting<\/h4>\n
    On-Server and Remote Server Backups<\/h5>\n

    Moreover, Cloudways\u2019 servers come with a super robust server backups infrastructure<\/b> that not only allows you to schedule backups<\/b>\u2014both at the server and application levels\u2014but also gives you the choice to either backup on your server\u2019s storage disks or on a remote storage facility<\/b>\u2014that Cloudways offers for free. Yes! Essentially, Cloudways will keep backups for you and not charge you to have them kept remotely<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \"Taking
    Taking backups on Cloudways is super easy, and with just the click of a button, you can take or schedule on-disk or remote backups. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    And in the unlikely case that you need a backup\u2014maybe a customization or code modification has gone wrong\u2014any and all servers or applications that you delete will have their backups automatically preserved for 14 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, you have the peace of mind to do development work<\/b> without worrying about copies of your server or recently deleted servers\u2014and applications\u2014being lost forever.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways\u2019 Robust Staging Management Platform<\/h5>\n

    Cloudways also have a very robust staging management platform <\/b>where you can create a copy of your WordPress or WooCommerce application and test config changes or plugin installs<\/b>\u2014and so much more\u2014safely, and without affecting your production (live) site<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    The beauty of this staging management infrastructure, additionally, is that with just the click of a single button, you can pull (copy over) your production site to the staging site, or even push (apply) changes made on the staging copy to the live site<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \"Staging

    As such, what could have been a stressful and tense customization or DevOps routine can now be undertaken stress-free and without worrying about backups<\/b>\u2014and rolling back to previous versions of your stack. Just like that\u2014and did I say, the remote backup and site staging features are completely free of charge<\/b> and offered as complementary add-ons for any Cloudways Flexible plan<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Infrastructure Health:<\/h3>\n

    Server Health Monitoring and Issue Alerts<\/h4>\n

    As a web developer, it\u2019s so easy to always be on edge, wondering how your web server is doing. Personally, I used to keep checking my Cloudways server dashboard too often, trying to keep an eye on things. However, since I started using Cloudways CoPilot, I can cap the work day free of any such anxiety, and with the assurance that CoPilot is always monitoring the health of my server<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Even more, I need not worry about service failures<\/b>\u2014if my Varnish cache is acting up, for instance, I know CoPilot will be there 24\/7 to help me troubleshoot the issue<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Something simple like just a quick database repair feels like steering a spaceship, if you\u2019re not conversant with server architecture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Disk Space Management and Server Inode Monitoring<\/h4>\n

    Whenever I need to undertake disc space management\u2014for instance\u2014I can rely on CoPilot to give me timely cleanup recommendations<\/b>. Whenever any file system problems occur, or my server\u2019s disk inode has been exhausted, I need not worry as CoPilot has my back<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    On Cloudways, a server disk inode<\/b> is a data structure that stores important information (attributes)<\/b>\u2014and acts as a unique identifier<\/b>\u2014for each directory and file on the server<\/b>. Each of these items requires a single inode, so the cumulative number of inodes indicate the total number of files and folders on your server<\/b>\u2014not its disk space<\/b>. There\u2019s also usually a limit on the number of inodes you can have on your server<\/b>, and on hitting this limit, the system may prevent you from creating new files<\/b>. CoPilot ensures that does not happen, keeping you informed when your disk inode is maxing out.<\/p>\n

    The Ease of Upgrading\/Downgrading Server Size\u2014or Just Disk Size\u2014on Cloudways<\/h5>\n

    Even more, with CoPilot I can rest in the knowledge that I can easily upgrade\u2014or downgrade\u2014my server easily, and whenever I need to.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways also allows me to upgrade the size of my server\u2019s disk separately<\/b>\u2014and not having to upgrade the entire server<\/b>\u2014extending it to just the right size for my needs.<\/p>\n

    \"Deploying
    Deploying a Vultr High-Performance server is super-easy on Cloudways. You not only get a variety of Cloud providers with Cloudways, but also the flexibility to customize your server resources as needed. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Yes, if your host is experiencing disk issues, and you\u2019re running out of space, you need not upgrade the entire server to the next tier; No! You can separately add disk space to your current server and ensure that it has enough space to meet your growing needs<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    It is features like these that make Cloudways the best web host for small and medium businesses, SMBs.<\/p>\n

    Furthermore, as an agency hosting client sites, or an LMS running a group of LearnDash sites, you can easily maximize your return on investment, ROI<\/a> by upgrading to Cloudways CPU-Optimized\u2014or High-Performance Servers\u2014and coupling them with Lightning Stack.<\/p>\n

    4. How Cloudways CoPilot Works for SMBs 24\/7:<\/h2>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot is built with small and medium businesses (SMBs) in mind<\/b>. Forget server monitoring tools or AI bots that just do the bare minimum. CoPilot is nothing like that\u2014Cloudways worked for months to integrate their server architecture, stellar documentation, and their impressive suite of add-ons with CoPilot<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    They built CoPilot around their cloud server offerings, and created the hands-on intelligent assistant specifically for online businesses like yours.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot is that quiet safety net that you did not know you needed, until you finally stopped worrying about what could go wrong on your host.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Where other hosts would just attach an \u2018AI foundation model\u2019 to their assistant bot<\/b>\u2014and let it just do basic responses\u2014Cloudways dug deeper, looked at their web stack, understood what their customers face when it comes to stack troubleshooting, and built Cloudways CoPilot to meet those particular needs<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s how Cloudways CoPilot works for SMBs like yours:<\/p>\n

    Real time issue detection and diagnosis<\/b>, way before development teams notice. For example, where an invisible syntax error (in some custom code) would have slowed down initial page loads\u2014with the DevOps team not realizing\u2014that would be an issue of the past, as CoPilot is built to specifically detect such issues<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to its deep integration with Cloudways servers<\/b>, any existing or emerging bottlenecks will be detected, digested intelligently\u2014here\u2019s where AI comes in\u2014and with inference from Cloudways\u2019 documentation and\/or knowledge of fixes that have worked for other customers<\/b> (who have faced the issue in the past), proven issue fixes are suggested.<\/p>\n

    \"A
    Yes, with Cloudways CoPilot, managing your server and undertaking host troubleshooting becomes way easier. No more endless guesses, the system is woven into Cloudways’ architecture and will be able to undertake deep stack analysis. Source: Cloudways CoPilot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    CoPilot won\u2019t stop there and will thoroughly explain how to solve the issues your server is experiencing<\/b>\u2014via clear step-by-step instructions and code suggestions<\/b>\u2014or help you directly apply \u2018SmartFixes\u2019 <\/b>to not only solve your issue currently, but also ensure it doesn\u2019t reoccur<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    At its crux, a Cloudways #CoPilotSmartFix<\/a><\/b> is a fix that has been seen to work in the past for a specific issue, tried and tested<\/b>\u2014both by Cloudways\u2019 technical team and other clients\u2014and can be safely implemented for a recurring issue<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    For example, most WordPress Multisite tech stacks will get bogged down<\/a> by WP Cron Jobs<\/b>, especially when many plugins are installed. As such, most of these setups will face performance bottlenecks<\/b>, and their PHP processes will either time out, or be painstakingly slow<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Before CoPilot, trying to<\/b> diagnose and fix such phantom issues could have taken endless documentation dives<\/b>, rummaging through Google or Open Stack, and you\u2019d often still not find a fix<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Why? You couldn\u2019t be sure of what\u2019s the actual problem, what\u2019s causing it, and the specific tenets of your tech stack that would necessitate applying a fix in a certain way<\/b>. In essence, you\u2019d be lacking the information and tools you need to get the problem sorted.<\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t take my word for it\u2014here\u2019s real customer proof of how Cloudways CoPilot has not only made troubleshooting easier, but also saved time and costs for businesses like yours.<\/p>\n

    5. Real Customer Proof of Cloudways CoPilot\u2019s Time and Cost Savings, and Its Impact on Server Troubleshooting for SMBS<\/h2>\n

    Now, I am not the only one who\u2019s been impressed by how much time Cloudways CoPilot saves. A few agency owners and WordPress developers shared their experiences, and the pattern is quite clear\u2014CoPilot is synonymous with increased host troubleshooting speeds and peace of mind<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Jonathan\u2014Runs a Small WP Hosting Agency<\/h3>\n

    Jonathan, who runs a 12-client WordPress agency, says Cloudways CoPilot saved him around 15 hours in a single month<\/b>\u2014simply by identifying PHP-FPM overloads before they could lead to slowdowns<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    He\u2019d recently on-boarded a popular LMS LearnDash site offering online classes to 1200 students every day. A plugin he\u2019d installed specifically for that site, was running too many cron jobs (and too often), and CoPilot was able to notice that this resulted in PHP-FPM facing frequent overloads.<\/p>\n

    After timely identification of the issue and its cause<\/b>, CoPilot suggested that Jonathan transition his WordPress Multisite from the hybrid stack to Cloudways Lightning stack; even providing a step-by-step guide on how to roll it out over the next month<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    For the time being, CoPilot<\/b>\u2014working collaboratively with Jonathan<\/b>\u2014was able to find other areas in the WP multisite where the load on PHP-FPM could be offset<\/b>, and consequently reduced.<\/p>\n

    Turns out that, if Jonathan turned off the Query Monitor plugin<\/strong>\u2014whenever he was not using it, at least\u2014and deactivated the plugin on all other sites except the main one (his admin site), he could compensate for the additional load on PHP-FPM since onboarding the new client.<\/p>\n

    Essentially, thanks to partnering with CoPilot, Jonathan was able to solve a relatively complex bottleneck easily, superfast, and without needing to upgrade his 4GB server<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Yes, CoPilot suggested shifting from Cloudways hybrid stack to lightning stack\u2014and even though Jonathan hadn\u2019t been aware of how lightning stack could help him scale<\/a>\u2014he got a detailed step-by-step guide<\/b> on how to couple site staging management and Cloudways server-cloning tools to slowly undertake the shift over the next month.<\/p>\n

With just a click of a button, moreover, you could shift from an AWS instance to a Digital Ocean High-Performance droplet, for instance, in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

    To alleviate his worries, CoPilot also did a breakdown and comparison of server costs<\/b> between his current setup and the suggested High-Performance Server + Lightning Stack combination<\/i><\/b>\u2014a marginal server cost increase of 20% for more than a 70% increase in site speed<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Javid\u2014Runs a WooCommerce Hosting Agency<\/h3>\n

    Javid has spent the last decade running his own WooCommerce store. After endless Zoom calls with his acquaintances\u2014tapping on the experience he\u2019s gained over the years\u2014he decided to start a WooCommerce hosting agency for small businesses; that he\u2019s now been running for two years.<\/p>\n

    Juggling maintaining his own burgeoning Woo store, and managing his clients\u2019 sites has been a handful for Javid, and he had not realized that his agency\u2019s tech stack was facing a compatibility issue with the new WooCommerce DB table infrastructure<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \"The
    Cloudways’ database management interface is not only secure, but also very intuitive, allowing you to easily repair and optimize your WordPress\/WooCommerce database whenever you need to. No funny DB restrictions, just an intuitive UI to ensure you have all the features and functionality you need. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Essentially, most of the plugins his clients use and are conversant with require legacy compatibility<\/b>\u2014especially since WooCommerce shifted to a new way of creating and storing entries to the database (High-performance order storage).<\/p>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot caught the issue on his behalf and, thankfully, way before any client sites could experience downtime<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    From a troubleshooting perspective, WooCommerce can be quite sensitive, especially since it requires numerous integrations\u2014including payment systems and plugins\u2014that could end up breaking if troubleshooting is done wrong.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, CoPilot suggested that Javid first ensures backward compatibility by installing a \u2018Legacy Compatibility<\/i>\u2019 extension for WooCommerce. Second, Javid would also need to enact a hybrid setup, where the application of the new WooCommerce DB infrastructure would be piloted in phases\u2014and run along the legacy indexing method, initially.<\/p>\n

    Javid wasn\u2019t sure how he would enact the latter, but CoPilot pointed out to an almost hidden setting in WooCommerce settings<\/b>;\u00a0under the ‘Advanced > Features’<\/em> section\u2014as well as the ‘Advanced > Legacy API<\/i>\u2019 section\u2014where he could check a tick box for enabling ‘WordPress posts storage (Legacy)’<\/em> and \u2018Legacy REST API<\/i>\u2019 consecutively… This would tell WooCommerce to ensure backward compatibility to the previous DB approach<\/b>, while ensuring new DB tables follow the new approach.<\/p>\n

    How to Enable Legacy Posts Storage and Legacy API (for Backwards Compatibility) on WooCommerce<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Here’s a shortcut for a quick check on your setup:<\/p>\n

    — For Legacy API<\/strong>: ‘https:\/\/example.com\/wp-admin\/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=advanced&section=legacy_api<\/em>‘. Note that you may need to install and activate the ‘WooCommerce REST Legacy API Extension<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n

    — For WordPress posts storage (Legacy)<\/strong>: ‘https:\/\/example.com\/wp-admin\/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=advanced&section=features’<\/em>. This setting only works if the Legacy API setting is set correctly, and the extension installed and enabled. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    The alchemy of CoPilot though, was that it identified the issue in a very timely fashion\u2014saving Javid the time, stress and headache he\u2019d have had to go through<\/b>; while dealing with clients sites that may have experienced downtime due to the issue. Gladly, they didn\u2019t\u2026 phew!<\/p>\n

    Moreover, CoPilot saved Javid the hours he would have spent searching across the web for a plugin\/tool<\/b>\u2014to allow legacy compatibility<\/b>\u2014that doesn\u2019t exist<\/b>. There\u2019s no internet fix that would have worked, as there is none. What\u2019s needed is to change a setting deep within WooCommerce settings, as noted earlier.<\/p>\n

    Thankfully, Javid had tried out CoPilot and was able to know that, and realize the existence of the issue\u2014even before he\u2019d discovered it himself or was aware that it was occurring<\/b>\u2014and before anything broke as a result<\/b>. Simply life-saving! Dealing with concerned clients or trying to fix something you are not even aware of, can be such a mess<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    The two are just good examples of how CoPilot can be useful in a real-world setting. There\u2019s more:<\/p>\n

    Rodrigo, who runs a WP Multisite for his local network of Sports Magazines,<\/b> calls it \u201chaving DevOps-level insight without paying DevOps-level salaries<\/b>\u201d. He\u2019s super keen on keeping costs down, and with recent changes in Search, had to let go of a handful of his staff a few weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

    And Kim, a freelance developer<\/b>, attested that with Cloudways CoPilot she resolves server issues in \u201c2-3 minutes instead of 10\u201d<\/b>. Since she has over 180+ client sites that she manages, she knows that those few minutes can be priceless.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019ve ever spent your morning staring at CPU usage charts trying to figure out what went wrong on your stack, those numbers hit differently<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Cloudways CoPilot isn\u2019t about showing off\u2014it\u2019s definitely not another \u2018AI gimmick\u2019\u2014it\u2019s about making those hours back<\/b>\u2026 A Swiss penknife hands-on intelligent troubleshooter for delicate, custom fixes that dynamically adjusts to your stack, while still applying known and learnt fixes\u2014against common server issues.<\/p>\n

    6. Who Is It For?: Businesses and Individuals That Could Benefit From Using Cloudways CoPilot Intelligent Troubleshooting Assistant<\/h2>\n

    Small Businesses, Hosting Agencies, and Web Developers<\/h3>\n

    If you\u2019re like me, and you care for (or own) a WordPress\/WooCommerce site on your own behalf<\/b> (or on behalf of others)<\/b>, Cloudways CoPilot could make server troubleshooting magnitudes easier and way much faster.<\/p>\n

    If you run a Web Development Agency or work for one<\/b>, Cloudways CoPilot could be just what you need to streamline your troubleshooting workflow.<\/p>\n

    Running a single site is one thing, but if you\u2019re managing tens or even hundreds of sites<\/b>, trying to optimize or troubleshoot stack issues is just an entirely new ballgame\u2026 It\u2019s like trying to manage a kitchen that serves several restaurants. The same can be said for Small and Medium Businesses, SMBs<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \"Cloudways
    The needs of creators, developers and small and medium agencies are central to Cloudways’ goal of empowering all their clients’ websites, regardless of size, complexity, or traffic. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The more sites you manage (especially via WP Multisite<\/b>)\u2014or on the same shared server (or resources), the more likely plugin conflicts, code changes, and intra-stack dependencies may cause server issues and performance bottlenecks.<\/p>\n

    Knowing how to monitor, diagnose, and fix these issues can be complex and is often such a time-consuming job, that it takes away from other roles and functions<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    How Host Problems Force SMBs to Hire DevOps Engineers and Entire Web Development Teams\u2014and How Cloudways CoPilot Can Help<\/h4>\n

    The solution is often to hire dedicated DevOps engineers to offload that work, but the costs of hiring the right talent need not eat into your profitability<\/b>. Not when Cloudways CoPilot can offload most of that work<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s about having that extra pair of eyes, that saved 10 minutes late at night; it\u2019s about real solutions for real (specific) issues on a custom config<\/b>. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about for me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    From our example earlier, Cloudways CoPilot is like having a kitchen manager who\u2019s able to co-ordinate the kitchen to run at optimal levels\u2014regardless of the number of restaurants it is serving<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Think about it, if you could run a hundred more sites and rest assured that any issues that may arise could be sorted<\/b> in a timely, professional manner, what\u2019s stopping you from scaling<\/b> your business and maximizing ROI?<\/p>\n

    I mean, you not only get to alleviate the cost of hiring a dedicated DevOps engineer or web developer<\/b>, but more importantly, you also get the scalability to grow your business exponentially<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    An agency web stack that works for 100 sites today should be able to handle double the number of client sites, with the right tech and tools for troubleshooting<\/b>\u2014Cloudways CoPilot is just that<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    Solo Entrepreneurs and Freelance WordPress Developers<\/h3>\n

    On the other hand, you could be a solo entrepreneur doing your thing and running a web stack for yourself<\/b>\u2014just doing your thing. You stand to benefit from CoPilot too\u2026 As would a freelance developer<\/b>;<\/p>\n

    Imagine being able to couple your development knowledge and experience with a tool that has deep-integration with the server beyond what you can see yourself.<\/p>\n

    Think about it, wouldn\u2019t you be able to work faster, way more efficiently, and less stress-free<\/b> if you had an encyclopedia of your own tech stack? Yes, that\u2019s what I thought.<\/p>\n

    And I think that\u2019s what best defines Cloudways CoPilot\u2014an encyclopedia of your own WordPress\/WooCommerce tech stack<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    \"Cloudways
    Yes, with Cloudways you not only get really fast, highly-performant servers. You also get a host of powerful add-ons and features to help you gain as much competitive edge as possible. Source: Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      Now that we\u2019re done with the TL;DR, let\u2019s talk of real-world experience using Cloudways CoPilot, and expound on these benefits.<\/p>\n

      Real-World Benefits of Using Cloudways CoPilot<\/h3>\n

      (a) Server Problems Detection & Detailed Diagnosis in Minutes<\/h4>\n

      Most monitoring tools would just stop at \u2018hey, something\u2019s wrong with your database\u2019\u2014not CoPilot. If MySQL is overloading on your stack, it won’t just tell you the process \u2018spiked\u2019<\/b>\u2014it will show you the specific queries responsible for that spike<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      For instance, I had a merch WooCommerce store that would always lag every time I added a new product\u2014for some reason. I never really understood why until I started using CoPilot, which not only identified the issue but also went a step further\u2014and told me what\u2019s wrong and why.<\/p>\n

      The intelligent always-on troubleshooter on my Cloudways server flagged a database bottleneck, and in good detail, explained that there was a specific table index that was missing. Moreover, CoPilot even offered the exact SQL command that I\u2019d need to fix it.<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s the difference between endless hours of trial and error<\/b>\u2014which is exactly the kind of thing you should never do, especially with the WooCommerce database\u2014and a quick, efficient, proven solution<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      Even more, thanks to the intuitiveness of Cloudways\u2019 server dashboard<\/a> and interface<\/b>\u2014and the fact that you can access your DB in a secure environment<\/b>\u2014getting my issue solved was as simple as \u2018Ctrl + C<\/i>\u2019 and \u2018Ctrl + V<\/i>\u2019… need I say more?<\/p>\n

      (b) Actionable Solutions for Server Issues<\/h4>\n

      The one thing that Cloudways CoPilot is limited in is\u2026wait for it\u2026 BS. It doesn\u2019t send you to the moon to collect a Mars rock sample<\/b>. Never! CoPilot won\u2019t leave you guessing<\/b>. Every issue alert is much more\u2014it comes with an explanation of what\u2019s happening and a proven solution path<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      Depending on what\u2019s going down, it could give you a config\/setting suggestion, a quick SmartFix, or even a customized-to-fit code snippet<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      PS: Try SSH-ing into your server one day\u2014thankfully you can with Cloudways\u2014and you\u2019ll get to meet \u2018sudo -u root wp db repair \u2013 allow-root \u2013 skip-plugins<\/i>\u2019. What does that do? Haha\u2026 it\u2019s alchemy\u2026<\/p>\n

      Something simple like just a quick database repair feels like steering a spaceship, if you\u2019re not conversant with server architecture<\/b>\u2014and yes, a simple DB repair that was.<\/p>\n

      You wouldn\u2019t need to have to know that with CoPilot<\/b>; let the tech do the work for you. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

      CoPilot won\u2019t tell you to just \u2018clear cache<\/i>\u2019, for instance\u2014it tells you which cache (Varnish or Redis or Breeze Cache), why it matters, and what to do next.<\/p>\n

      A screenshot of the Breeze WordPress plugin by Cloudways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

      (c) Time Savings<\/h4>\n

      WordPress developers who use Cloudways CoPilot report fixing issues 50-75% faster<\/b>\u2014almost twice as fast. For freelancers and agency owners, that\u2019s not just \u2018convenience\u2019<\/b>\u2014it is extra billable hours that\u2019d have gone with a DevOp,<\/b> or more projects (and clients) you could actually take on.<\/p>\n

      A good way to put what it\u2019s like using Cloudways CoPilot is that: it is like having a second pair of eyes that are always awake, always keeping an eye on your stack, and always a step ahead<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      (d) Cost Efficiency as Compared to Hiring a Developer<\/h4>\n

      Hiring a full-time DevOps engineer to monitor multiple<\/b> (custom-configured) sites is not cheap<\/b>. CoPilot bridges that gap by giving you expert-level diagnostics at a fraction of the cost<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      Not only that, but you also retain 100% control of what fixes are applied where<\/b>, and also the guidance and collaboration for brainstorming, choosing approaches to fixes, optimizing your stack, e.t.c\u2014whenever you need it.<\/p>\n

      (e) Peace of Mind and Stress-Free Server Health Insights<\/h4>\n

      Personally, I feel like peace of mind is the most underrated part of what CoPilot can do for you<\/b>. Knowing that a digital, always-on, super-intelligent piece of tech is keeping an eye on things (on my Cloudways server) means that I can log off and take a weekend off\u2014free of server alerts and only with actionable diagnostics, if any<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      Moreover, it also means that I can actually focus on growing my business instead of spending most of my time firefighting; as can you<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      Need I tell you how I learnt about that \u2018sudo<\/i>\u2019 command I shared earlier? Do I tell you the endless hours spent on search engines that would have taken, or the many reCAPTCHAs I would\u2019ve had to hoop through? Let\u2019s not even start with AI Overviews\u2026 If you\u2019ve been there, you know what CoPilot could mean for you and your business.<\/p>\n

      Let me put it this way, Cloudways CoPilot is that quiet safety net that you did not know you needed, until you finally stopped worrying about what could go wrong on your host<\/b>.<\/p>\n

      There\u2019s also a story of why I know Google PageSpeed Insights is on pagespeed.web.dev<\/i>, and I told it in the form of a previous article delving deep into Mastering Server-level WordPress Optimizations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Read it, and hopefully get your site to a point where you don\u2019t have to constantly do LCP, and Core Web Vitals checks endlessly\u2026 Who knew a few hundred milliseconds could be so hard to stave off?!<\/p>\n

      Your online business\u2019s journey is like doing the Le Mans\u2014with Cloudways CoPilot, you\u2019ll have a co-driver seeing the corners (and hurdles) you\u2019ll be too busy, too tired or too pre-occupied to see<\/b>\u2014and those few seconds saved could be the competitive edge you need.<\/p>\n
