FrankenPHP + Caddy
Worker-mode PHP behind Caddy. No PHP-FPM, no nginx. One binary, HTTP/3, automatic TLS.
Live demo
WooCommerce, blazing fast.
You are looking at UltrafastWoo — a stack that pushes WooCommerce from sluggish to sub-3 ms p95. Designed to run on a $1.50/mo Mikrus VPS, runs anywhere Docker runs. This page is the demo. The shop works. Add things to the cart. Click around. Watch the network tab.
- 94% p95 latency reduction on cached public pages
- 43 ms → 2.8 ms before / after, same VPS, same theme
- ~$1.50/mo target host: Mikrus VPS — runs anywhere Docker runs
What is actually running here
Souin full-page cache
Caddy-native cache handler with smart bypass for cart, checkout and logged-in users. The reason p95 dropped to single-digit milliseconds.
Datastar + HyperPress
10.7 KB of reactive hypermedia. Cart updates, search and filtering stream over SSE. Zero React, zero jQuery, zero build step on the front-end.
Redis sessions + object cache
WooCommerce sessions live in Redis with TTL-based expiry. Object cache on top. The DB barely sees traffic.

The blog post walks through the benchmarks, the architecture decisions, the dead-ends, and how to install the same stack on a Mikrus (or any Docker host) in one command.
