| Hi all,
first of all thanks for spending your valuable time on my post.
im a newbie, and hardly know anything about apache server optimization. i just installed one droplet through one click wordpress installation "Wordpress ubuntu 14.04" and after installing it on first step i have installed memcached for it. but i know i can do some more to make my site more faster.
my site using 512mb package of digitalocean.
web server apache
PHP 5.5.9
so few things i want to do but im confused that one conflicts with another or do i really need to do it for my server or not. so here is my to-do list. ill wait for your comments before i proceed doing these steps. also please suggest me if i should install something that's not in the list
install mod_pagespeed
Move Code out of Apache
install w3tc plugin
use cloudflare cdn
also if someone could give me some good configurations tip for w3tc with cloudflare ill be very greatfull to u.
i really appreciate and welcome all your valuable comments.

| Some recommendations to improve your Apache performance:
1-Unload Unneeded Modules
2-Move Code out of Apache and the difference can be dramatic.
3-Limit the Number of Apache Processes and Children according to your server's resources.
4-YOu can go with Alternate MPM Configuration.
5-Compress content with gzip.
6-Optimize images.
7-Leverage browser caching.
8-Make sure to correctly position blocking javascripts.
9. For security use mod-security
10-Enable keep-alive.
Hope this helps.

| You got the right idea - Tuning Apache can make a seriously huge difference, especially if you have limited resources.
Here is a more in-depth guide explaining some of what both you and rogriverac were discussing. Since you mentioned you are new to this kind of tuning and configuration, I thought a more detailed guide might help.
