To get recommended settings for your server try apachebuddy which is much like mysqltunner run below commands to configure it

Using ApacheBuddy

You can download the ApacheBuddy script as follows:

wget https://raw.github.com/gusmaskowitz/apachebuddy.pl/master/apachebuddy.pl

In order to run it, we must make it executable:

chmod +x apachebuddy.pl

Afterwards, we can run it.

./apachebuddy.pl

server1:~# ./apachebuddy.pl

Once you got output you should update your httpd.config manually based on your recommended settings by apachebuddy

Apache config location:

/etc/httpd.config
