What about memory usage with MySql? I've found that to be a significant bottleneck with wordpress sites. A basic wordpress installation doesn't use the database much, but if you add just a few plugins, things start to jump pretty quickly.
- EwanToo 15y agoI didn't play around with MySQL in those settings at all, mostly because the last thing you actually want is a query hitting the database. You're right though, if you start adding a few less well coded plugins, then you can start hitting the database a lot, for no really good reason.
- jamesgeck0 15y agoThe caching software and http accelerator probably mitigate the need to hit the database at all.
- dugmartin 15y agoVarnish takes the load off by caching the results from Wordpress. The Total Cache plugin handles purging cache entries when you update posts/pages. If you want to see how many queries Wordpress runs even for a simple post install this plugin I wrote at my last job. It shows a log of queries in the page footer if you are logged in as admin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpdb-profiling/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpdb-profiling/
