Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC in Plesk for better email delivery
Enable DKIM signing, publish SPF and DMARC records and check them in Plesk so mail from your domain reaches the inbox at Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo.
Speed up sites in Plesk with nginx caching, HTTP/2 and compression
Turn on nginx caching, serve static files directly, enable gzip or Brotli, HTTP/2 and OPcache in Plesk, and check which settings actually make a site faster.
Update and upgrade Plesk safely (GUI and command line)
Install Plesk micro-updates, upgrade to a newer Plesk Obsidian release, add or remove components and recover from a failed update using the installer.
Use Cloudflare with a Plesk-hosted website
Put a Plesk site behind Cloudflare: move DNS or use records only, choose Full (strict) SSL, keep Let's Encrypt renewing, restore real visitor IPs and avoid redirect loops.
Use the Plesk File Manager to upload, edit and manage files
Upload, edit, extract, move and set permissions on website files in Plesk Obsidian using the built-in File Manager, without an FTP client.
Use the Plesk Migrator to move sites from cPanel
Connect your cPanel source server to the Plesk Migrator extension and copy domains, mail, databases and SSL certificates onto a Linux VPS, then verify before you switch DNS.
View website statistics in Plesk (AWStats and traffic)
Enable and read AWStats or Webalizer statistics in Plesk, protect them with a password, check traffic and disk usage per domain, and understand what the numbers mean.
