- alpb 14y agoIt is already installed and apparently not sufficient. There are 400+ people on my blog (excluding google cache or the ones viewing HTTP 500 error page, of course) and yet we see downtime.

- rprasad 14y agoalpb, check your plugins. With WP SuperCache running you should be able to easily handle thousands of concurrent visitors, even on a virtual server or shared hosting accounting. Unfortunately, some of the plugins that ship with WP by default (i.e., some of the comments plugins) do not work well with caching; you have to swap them out for third-party equivalents that are designed with caching in mind.
