Redirecting HTTP to HTTPS for a whole site using virtual hosts:

#Basics snipped for brevity....


   RewriteEngine on
   #RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


RedirectPermanent / https://www.foo.com/

WordPress needs to get with the program and not force URLs in the settings page to contain HTTP or HTTPS.

They need to build a session that knows which one a visitor is using. I won’t go into the whole login and admin SSL issue.

Recently all the sites hosted on the WordPress platform were experiencing delayed loads.

I was able to trace this back to the plugin Wordbooker, specifically version 1.8.17.
All sites have been upgraded to version 1.8.18 which seems to alleviate the issue.

We have upgraded the websites and email servers from MySQL to MariaDB.

Currently researching changes in tuning, if any.
