Best practices for PHP ini settings for large wordpress site?

Question

I own a large wordpress site that gets

500k+ visitors
30+ plugins (some heavy)
server with 128 GB RAM

Wondering if there are "best practices" for php.ini settings for larger sites on Linux? I think my host may be cutting corners to save bandwidth, but I'm not 100% sure where to start on php ini settings.

This is related to Can you help me with my capacity planning. The same principles apply as in the linked question's answer.

For your case, more important than php.ini settings is the setup details. Do you have proper caching enabled? Does the database server have enough memory?

Not sure, host handles all that. – user8749042 Oct 24 '22 at 02:14
Host does not handle anything related to WordPress and its caching. You should look into WordPress cache modules first. – Tero Kilkanen Oct 25 '22 at 16:33
