HillHost Resource Manager lets you manage website runtime settings directly from the User Area without opening cPanel for everyday tasks. Recent updates added better PHP version controls, PHP limit controls, OPcache settings, and clearer WordPress status information.
## What Changed
The Resource Manager now includes a modern **Speed** section for website services. From this section you can review and manage the PHP runtime for your domains, update common PHP limits, adjust basic OPcache settings, and view WordPress Toolkit signals.
The WordPress section also now shows the PHP version currently assigned to the WordPress domain. For example, a site may show:
`WordPress 7.0.2 - PHP 8.4 - current`
or, if the domain is using an old PHP version:
`WordPress 7.0.2 - PHP 8.1 - outdated`
This makes the status clearer than a generic “Outdated PHP” warning.
## Where to Find These Tools
1. Log in to the HillHost User Area.
2. Open **Services**.
3. Select your hosting service.
4. Open **Speed** from the Resource Manager toolbar.
The Speed section includes:
- **MultiPHP Manager**: choose the PHP version for each domain.
- **PHP limits**: manage memory limit, upload size, post size, execution time and input variables.
- **OPcache**: review or update basic bytecode cache settings when published by cPanel.
- **WordPress performance**: view WordPress Toolkit status and the PHP version used by the installation.
## Changing the PHP Version for a Domain
In **Speed > MultiPHP Manager**, choose the desired PHP version from the dropdown beside the domain and click **Update**.
For modern WordPress websites, we recommend using a currently supported PHP version such as PHP 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 when your plugins and theme support it. Very old PHP versions, such as PHP 5.4, may still be selectable for compatibility, but they will be marked as outdated.
## Updating PHP Limits
The PHP limits panel can update common values published by cPanel MultiPHP INI Basic Mode, including:
- Memory limit
- Upload size
- Post size
- Execution time
- Input variables
Example values:
- Memory limit: `256M`
- Upload size: `64M`
- Post size: `64M`
- Execution time: `120`
- Input variables: `1000`
After entering a new value, click the check button to apply it.
## OPcache Settings
When available, the OPcache panel can show and update basic OPcache settings such as status, memory and revalidation time.
Some hosting accounts or PHP handlers may not publish every OPcache value. If a value is not published by cPanel, Resource Manager will show it as unavailable instead of guessing.
## Why PHP Extensions Are Not Listed
The previous “Published modules” panel was removed because cPanel does not reliably publish per-account PHP extension directives through the same safe account-level API used for PHP versions and PHP limits.
For now, extension management remains a server-side or cPanel-level task. This avoids showing an empty or misleading list inside Resource Manager.
## WordPress PHP Status
Resource Manager now compares the WordPress installation domain with the domain’s current MultiPHP version. This means the WordPress card should show the actual PHP version assigned to the site.
If the WordPress card still shows an old PHP warning immediately after changing PHP version, refresh the page. In rare cases, server-side PHP/OPcache caching may need a short moment before the User Area reflects the latest value.
## Notes
The Resource Manager uses cPanel APIs for these features. If cPanel does not publish a setting for the account, Resource Manager will show that setting as unavailable rather than inventing a value.
