Definition

FastCGI improves dynamic application execution compared with classic CGI.

What does it mean in practice?

For web applications, FastCGI can affect performance, compatibility, caching, data storage and migration planning.

A practical Hostilla.pl example

When maintaining a website, describe the expected result first and record the current configuration. FastCGI can then be checked against application requirements, hosting limits, logs and a rollback plan.

What should you check?

  • the account, domain and expected result
  • software versions and required dependencies
  • a current backup or reversible change plan
  • logs and a repeatable verification after the change
