Understanding "FPM application served by nginx"

[Chris1]

When using the PHP handler "FPM application served by nginx", is Apache used at all?

If not then I imagine that any .htaccess rules will not work also? In this case I assume the "htaccess to nginx" extension may be useful?

Are there any other components that wont work when using this handler?

Do apps such as Wordpress automatically identify what environment it is running in and apply the correct directives/.htaccess rules depending on whether it is using Apache or nginx? Especially when you set things like pretty permalinks etc..

"FPM application served by nginx" is just PHP handler and type of PHP handler absolutely not related to processing .htaccess.
However in case of "FPM application served by nginx" PHP handler we have nginx -> fpm schema without Apache.

Hi Igor, thank you for the reply.

So .htaccess rules will still work regardless of whether "FPM application served by nginx" is chosen?

What is the difference between FPM served by Apache and FPM served by nginx?

.htaccess will not work in case "FPM application served by nginx" because there is no Apache in this schema.
Difference in that you can use .htaccess in case of "FPM served by Apache"

FPM application served by nginx is faster and use less CPU.

Im having a WP blog at a vserver. Do you think FPM served by nginx is TOOOOO better than FPM served by Apache?
After 300 online users, i have high CPU.

I see CPU usage like:
Last 1 minute 4.73
Last 5 minutes 4.95
Last 15 minutes 4.47

My vserver:
4 vCores
RAM 16 GB RAM
SSD 400 GB
CPU Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-26xx (Sandy Bridge) (4 core(s))
Version Plesk Onyx v17.0.17_build1700161028.14 os_CentOS 7
OS CentOS Linux 7.2.1511 (Core)

Do you think FPM served by nginx is TOOOOO better than FPM served by Apache?

How can I evaluate how much "TOOOOO better"?
I suppose that only different tests can answer on your question.

Ok, the "TOOOO better" is wrong... What do you suggest for my config and online users ?
