Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Should I disable mod_php before switching Apache to PHP-FPM?

If mod_php is still loaded, disable it before switching to PHP-FPM. It normally keeps Apache on mpm_prefork and defeats cleaner worker separation.

Can PHP-FPM with Apache run multiple PHP versions with process isolation?

Yes, the guide covers configuring PHP-FPM with Apache for better performance, multiple PHP versions, and process isolation.

Is there a user guide for setting up PHP-FPM with Apache virtual hosts?

Yes, the source is a short user-written guide for implementing php-fpm with Apache virtual hosts.
