-- Redis for object cache (with memcached as an option)
-- WP Super Cache as full page cache (with Batcache as an alternative)
+- No added bloatware
+- Redis for object cache (available as an optional package)
+- Full page cache support (WP Super Cache, WP Rocket and WP Fastest Cache)

 - Varnish (planned, but no ETA)
+- Swap
 
 ## Security Considerations
 
-- Only ports 80, 443, and port for SSH are open.
 - No phoning home.
 - No external dependencies (such as third-party repositories, unless there is a strong reason to use it).
 - Automatic security updates (with an option to update everything).

 ## What you get at the end of the installation
 
-- a SSH user (prefixed with `sys_`) with root privileges (use it only to manage the server such as to create a new MySQL database or to create a new vhost entry for Nginx)
-- a chrooted SFTP user, prefixed with `web_`, with its home directory at `/home/web` along with some common directories(such as ~/log, ~/sites, etc) created already. (you may give it to your developer to access the file system such as to upload a new theme, etc)

 ## Where to install WordPress & How to install it
 
 - PHP runs as SFTP user. So, please install WordPress **as** SFTP user at `/home/web/sites/example.com/public`.
 - Configure Nginx using pre-defined templates that can be found at the companion repo [WordPress-Nginx](https://github.com/pothi/wordpress-nginx). That repo is already installed. You just have to copy / paste one of [the templates](https://github.com/pothi/wordpress-nginx/tree/master/sites-available) to fit your domain name.
-- If you wish to deploy SSL, a [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) client is already installed. Just use the command `certbot certonly --webroot -w /home/web/sites/example.com/public -d example.com -d www.example.com`. The renewal script is already in place as a cron entry. So, you don't have to create a new entry. To know more about this client library and to know more about the available options, please visit https://certbot.eff.org/ .

 ## Known Limitations
 
 - SFTP user can not create or upload new files and folders at `$HOME`, but can create or upload inside other existing directories. This is [a known limitation](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP_chroot#Write_permissions) when we use SFTP capability of built-in OpenSSH server.
