- polyfractal 15y agoTo be fair, I wasn't running WordPress. My webapp was a lot of client-side javascript and a JSON API backend. So it was probably a lot more lightweight than a big WordPress setup with a lot of plugins. Did you have something like WPSuperCache installed? That can help a lot by pre-caching all your pages into static html.
- hartleybrody 15y agoYah, I just installed one. Having spent a little more time looking at the problem since I wrote this post, I think my Achilles heel was memory usage by Wordpress. Once I dial that down I should easily be able to handle another surge without extra hardware. Thanks for the info!
