Large uploads, form submissions, page-builder saves, imports, exports, and backups can run into PHP limits. MaxLimits Pro lets you select recommended options or enter custom values, then compare your choices with the limits active in the server environment.

Limits and the work they affect

• upload_max_filesize sets the maximum size of an individual upload.
• post_max_size affects large form submissions and page-builder saves.
• memory_limit sets the PHP memory available to demanding extensions such as WooCommerce and page builders.
• max_execution_time sets how long processes such as imports, exports, and backups can run.
• max_input_time sets how long scripts can parse input data, including during larger uploads.
• max_input_vars affects complex menus, theme options, and page-builder saves.

The plugin first attempts runtime changes through ini_set(). If the hosting environment restricts those changes, you can enable the optional experimental method for writing rules to .htaccess. Hosting settings may still prevent a requested value from taking effect. The plugin also generates .visitor.ini and .htaccess snippets for manual use.

Check what the server applies

Open Settings > MaxLimits and review Current Server Values. Choose a recommended value or enter a custom one, save the limits, then compare the active values with your selections.

If the values have not changed, open the Direct File Writing card and enable Enable Direct .htaccess Writing (Experimental). Save the writing method, return to the Limit Settings card, save the desired values, and check Current Server Values again. Refresh the page if needed. Server configuration can still restrict the result.

Pro recovery and optimizer tools

Emergency Recovery Mode includes a Rescue Link and PIN for assistance when the WordPress dashboard is unavailable. The recovery page offers a one-click limit fix. Keep the link and PIN somewhere safe in case you need them.

For sites using WooCommerce or heavy page builders, MaxLimits Pro includes advanced one-click optimizers with specific High Power modes. Pro also includes priority support with direct assistance from the developers at DominoPress.

Get started

Install and activate MaxLimits Pro, then go to Settings > MaxLimits. Review the server information, choose the limits relevant to your site, and save them. Use the Current Server Values panel to see what the PHP environment is enforcing.
