Link: Surviving traffic storms with Wordpress

Interesting link on surviving traffic storms with Wordpress: not that I currently need it, but maybe in the future… ;)

In a nutshell:

  1. fine tuning of Apache (adjusting #processes, keep alives and ListenBacklog to values that match your machine’s constraints).
  2. fine tuning of MySQL query caching
  3. installing WP-Cache plugin + adaptive switching on of WP-cache plugin (only in heavy-load condition)
  4. disabling some plugins (the ones that take up a lot of resources)
  5. enabling Squid caching for static content.

    You’re better off implementing this now. I didn’t know I was going to get Digged/Reddied/Slashdotted/TPBed and so I had to scrum — it’s a lot better when you implement it with planning.
