We’re excited to bring you a brand-new feature on FlyWP. You can now put your sites to “Sleep” mode to save server resources when they’re not in use. And the best part? You can wake them up with just one click whenever you need them again.
Let’s explore the release in detail.
What’s New?
With this Site Sleep & Wake Up feature, you can pause your site to reduce server resource usage. When you’re done working on it, simply “sleep” the site. When you’re ready to get back to work, wake it up instantly.
Feature Highlights
- Added “Sleep Site” action in the site dashboard’s Actions menu.
- Executes docker compose down to temporarily stop the site container.
- Introduced “Wake Site” button when a site is in sleep mode.
- Wake-up action runs docker compose up -d to bring the site back online.
- Live site status added: Active / Sleeping
- The overview page remains accessible while the site is sleeping.
