WP 4.3 with PHP v.5, mod_deflate and caching systems

  • I have CS-Cart (also a PHP application) and WordPress running on my VPS and want to make sure they continue to coexist peacefully as I perform some server tweaks which were recommended by CS-Cart support. Note that my WP blog is in sub-domain blog.mydomain.com and my cart is in main mydomain.com so there can be a degree of isolation. Would appreciate even the broadest insights into using the below technologies:

    For WordPress 4.3.x, can I upgrade from PHP 4.3 to php 5.6?

    Redis and APCu are caching systems recommended for CS-Cart; can they be used with WordPress or should I configure only for mydomain.com?

    Opcache is a byte code caching system built in to PHP 5.6. If PHP 5.6 is OK for WordPress I’m guessing Opcache would be good for it?

    mod_deflate is an Apache module that gzips content before sending. I assume WordPress would be agnostic on it’s use and would be safe to try.

    I hope I posted in the right forum. Virtually all of this stuff is greekish to me but I’m sort of the intermediary between hosting and cart support, so I need to educate myself quickly. Thanks for any insights.

    Attention Mods! Please move. I posted this in the wrong forum I think. It would have been more appropriate in the How-to and troubleshooting forum.

    These issues have been resolved. PHP 5.6 has been installed, updated from 5.4 (not 4.3 as I had posted). APCu. Redis, opcache and mod deflate have all bee activated for our server and our blog sub-domain is performing better with the updates.
