We appear to be slashdotting the server; here's some cached copies: Just text (loads instantly): http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Jr34hZXt

    How people use Wordpress without a caching plugin today... sigh.

      What caching plugin do you recommend?
      • falcolas 11y ago
        Nginx /s Though, it does work really well.

        W3 Total Cache generally works fine. I use it with memcached and PHP's new built-in caching module (replacement for APC) and get my site blitzed from time to time due to major mentions in the media with few problems. SSD on Digital Ocean probably helps with disk caching too. I use Apache but falcolas' point of nginx (often in combination with Varnish and potentially hhvm; I've used this combo before with great success) is worth considering as well. No replacement for good configuration of your database (try MySQLtuner.pl if you use MySQL/MariaDB) of course.

      Might as well do static content generation if your software is too slow to handle dynamic content.

  nice old-time "slashdotting" jargo, though I doubt that Slashdot does any slashdotting anymore (sadly). "HackerNewsing" just doesn't do it, does it.

    Popularity DDoS? It's practically a DDoS attack, but the traffic is mostly legit, rather than malicious.
