The bottleneck is MySQL. At some point you'll need a caching plugin, even a simple one. One of the problems, in general, with the WordPress ecosystem is the bloat.
- antihero 5y agoCan't you just use Varnish?
- moehm 5y agoFor logged out users, sure (I did). If your users are logged in or you need to process their visit server side, it's a bit harder. AFAIK you can't do fragmented caching with vanilla Varnish.
- spurgu 5y agoSide note: To my knowledge the only plugin that supports fragmented caching (specific non-cached portions of PHP) is W3 Total Cache.
- achairapart 5y agoOf course. You can also write a minimal cache system in just ~2/300 lines of PHP that is still very efficient. So efficient you can even survive a hug of death from HN on a tiny VPS without a blink. I did it. Yet, people seems so attracted to those bloated "fastest" plugins...
