Membership sites need more care than static brochure sites. They often have logged-in users, private content, payments, email notifications, and dynamic pages that should not be cached incorrectly.
Check Caching Rules
Public pages can often be cached. Account areas, dashboards, checkout, and private content should be excluded unless the membership platform explicitly supports caching.
Test Email
Password resets, welcome emails, renewal notices, and receipts need reliable SMTP and proper domain authentication.
Watch Resource Usage
Logged-in traffic usually uses more PHP and database resources than cached public traffic. Monitor usage after launch.
Back Up Carefully
Membership databases change often. Make sure backup frequency matches how much data you can afford to lose.
For membership sites, reliability matters more than headline disk space.
