Server Maintenance: 7x Faster Ping, 3x Faster Downloads

We optimized a sluggish JTG Systems server from 228ms ping / 43Mbps down to 31ms ping / 127Mbps. Full before-and-after breakdown below.

Before Optimization

Ping	228 ms
Download	43 Mbps
Upload	261 Mbps
PostgreSQL shared_buffers	128 MB
MySQL innodb_buffer_pool_size	512 MB
MySQL max_connections	1000
TCP buffer sizes	32 MB
Congestion control	cubic
Disk free space	4.8 GB
Vulnerabilities	6

Ping	31 ms	7x faster
Download	127 Mbps	3x faster
Upload	441 Mbps	1.7x faster
PostgreSQL shared_buffers	2 GB	16x
MySQL innodb_buffer_pool_size	6 GB	12x
Disk free space	36 GB	+32 GB
Vulnerabilities	0	Patched

1Database tuning: PostgreSQL shared_buffers 128MB→2GB, MySQL buffer_pool 512MB→6GB, max_connections 1000→200
2Network TCP tuning: BBR congestion control, 64MB TCP buffers, TCP fast open, window scaling, MTU probing
3Redis tuning: maxmemory 1GB, allkeys-lru eviction
4Security patches: Next.js, sharp, js-yaml, joi, @humanfs/node, qs — 0 vulnerabilities
5Server cleanup: Removed 9 old releases (~20GB), npm cache, disk now 36GB free
6UI improvements: Branch column hiding, 26 new phone models, hero pricing badge, chat CTA

The server is now running at full capacity with no disk pressure, tuned databases, and fast network throughput.

All changes are persistent across reboots and survive server restarts.
