By the end of this course, learners will be able to deploy a WordPress website on Amazon AWS, securely manage server access, connect custom domains, and apply proven performance optimization techniques to improve website speed and scalability.

This hands-on course is designed to guide learners step by step from launching a WordPress website to optimizing it for real-world performance. Learners begin by understanding WordPress fundamentals and setting up a live hosting environment on AWS using secure SSH access. They then move beyond deployment to focus on performance—implementing plugins, optimizing images, cleaning databases, and leveraging Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to ensure fast, reliable user experiences. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end practical focus: learners do not just learn how to host WordPress, but also how to make it production-ready and performance-optimized. The course bridges infrastructure setup and performance engineering, providing a complete workflow that mirrors real-world WordPress deployments. This course is ideal for beginners, freelancers, and aspiring web administrators who want practical, job-ready skills in WordPress hosting and optimization using cloud infrastructure.

This module introduces learners to WordPress fundamentals and guides them through hosting a WordPress website on Amazon AWS, including secure server access and domain configuration to make the site publicly accessible.
