Installation & Performance Tips
1. Test Before Production
Always test new scripts on a development server before deploying to production. Monitor server performance and check for conflicts with existing resources.
2. Read Documentation
Each script has unique configuration requirements. Carefully read installation guides and configure options to match your server's needs.
3. Monitor Resource Usage
Use resmon to track script performance. Optimize or replace scripts that cause high CPU/memory usage.
4. Keep Scripts Updated
Regularly update your scripts to benefit from bug fixes, security patches, and new features. Subscribe to update notifications from script developers.
