Nginx vs properly configured apache makes little difference on for a small-to-medium site. What makes a difference is fastcgi caching, it's an important difference.
- falcolas 10y agoAgreed. An overloaded WordPress site with a minimal 5 minute page cache can now handle a HN storm. Throw in a CDN for the static assets, disable commenting, and it could likely handle the front page of Reddit. Amazing how fast a site becomes when it's no longer recalculating every response.
