production checks

cache rules should be written for people who will debug them later. name the rule, document the bypass conditions, and include examples of pages that should and should not be cached.

large content sites need predictable background work. queues, cron events, and import scripts should be idempotent, logged, and safe to run again. that makes recovery much easier when a request stops halfway through.

implementation checklist

  • run linting
  • run unit tests
  • run one integration check
  • verify staging config
  • tag the release

final notes

the best result is not only a faster or cleaner php implementation. it is a change that another developer can inspect, understand, and safely repeat. keep the final commands, metrics, and assumptions close to the article so future maintenance is easier.
