In the spirit of Halloween, it’s time to explore some ColdFusion “magic.” From hidden performance boosts to mysterious server-side optimizations, ColdFusion gives developers a powerful spellbook to craft fast, reliable web applications. But as with all magic, the results depend on the tools and environment you use. Whether you’re conjuring performance on a shared host or mastering the dark arts on a dedicated server, here are a few ColdFusion tricks to keep your code enchanting rather than eerie.

As Halloween approaches, even seasoned ColdFusion developers can find themselves haunted by mysterious bugs, unexplained crashes, and code that seems to have a life of its own. These “ghosts in the code” often appear when performance drops, pages vanish into thin air, or data behaves in unpredictable ways. But fear not—most of these spooky problems have very real causes. Here’s how to spot and banish them across different ColdFusion environments.

As Halloween creeps in and the digital night falls, your website shouldn’t be lurking in the shadows of slow load times and unreliable uptime. If your hosting is giving you more tricks than treats, it might be time to summon the beastly performance of VPS hosting. With scalable power, tighter control, and dedicated resources, a VPS is the digital monster your site needs to conquer high traffic, complex applications, and seasonal spikes.
