I tend not to realise when my site goes viral, as I'm based in Australia whereas my largest audience is in b the US (and I'm a bit of a Luddite!)
- bytebln 5y agohttps://loader.io https://loader.io is a nice tool for that
- AussieWog93 5y agoLegend, thanks!
- AussieWog93 5y agoWow, really glad I ran this tool. Looks like with some dead basic optimisations (free versions of WP Fastest Cache and Autoptimise), my Wordpress site can handle around 1500 requests per second on a $5 DigitalOcean VPS before it starts to slow down. On the old site, running on a shared host with less optimisations it would crap out at less than 10! Seems like I don't need to worry about this after all.
